How do I get HUD to work with GTK2 apps

I have a program which uses GTK2 that I want to integrate with HUD called Stata 12.

The menus are correctly located in the appmenu, but the menus do not show up in the HUD.

When I do use HUD and try to search through the menus, the HUD searches other open applications or system settings, but not Stata itself.

Is there a way I can get it to integrate?

Solution 1:

There could be several reasons but make sure /usr/share/applications has a .desktop file for the application. HUD needs that. There are good instructions for intalling this app on Ubuntu at http://eduardgrebe.net/2012/10/installing-stata-12-on-ubuntu-12-04/
