Hi Guy,

Thanks for your e-mail. I am keeping the mailing list in CC so that 
others can comment/provide suggestions too.

Some comments inline:

Thanks for your testing of the nightly builds.
This issue is something that I have noticed too, and have tried to fix a 
couple of times.
Menus are configured in the following files:
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_icons_and_menus.sh
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/desktop-conf/xfce/xfce-osgeo.menu

I have added ncWMS in there as you can see, but for some unknown reason 
it gets moved to "Others" folder... still searching this issue.

I opened a ticket for this:
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1152

This is a known issue, but I forgot to open a ticket for this.
What is the user name you used during installation?

As a workaround, you can add to the /etc/sudoers.d the following:

*<username> ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service tomcat6 
start,/usr/sbin/service tomcat6 stop,/usr/sbin/service tomcat6 status*

We need to find a way to handle this for installed systems.
