Install a .desktop file under $KDEDIR/share/applnk/Internet

If you use the build-framework that's standard for KDE applications then you 
can do so by adding the following lines to your Makefile.am:

apps_DATA = yourApp.desktop
appsdir = $(kde_appsdir)/Internet

The format of .desktop files is described on
http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/desktop-entry-spec/0.9.4-onehtml/

If you need any examples you can find plenty of .desktop files under $KDEDIR/
share/applnk

Cheers,
Waldo
