debian uses a package called "menu" that provide a command called
"update-menus"
All you have to do is installing a file called pgadmin3 in
/usr/lib/menu/pgadmin3 and launch update-menus in postinstall and your
menu entry will be added to kde, gnome, wmaker and others...
The file looks like this :
?package(pgadmin3):needs="x11" section="Apps/Databases" \
        title="pgAdmin3" command="pgadmin3" hints="Graphical client for
PostgreSQL" \
        icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/pgadmin3.xpm

As I can remember I've seen similar things in recent redhat distros, I
did a quick search on redhat site and found some references to it for mdk :)
In spec file you can add such things:

%post
%{update_menus}

%postun
%{clean_menus}

You will find more detailed information concerning this at
http://rpm.redhat.com/hintskinks/buildtree/mdk-rpm/

Can you have a try by hand on RPM based distros (it would be cool that
suse does this too) and let me know if it works well ? Just try to copy
pgadmin3 in /usr/lib/menu and launch update-menus.

If it is ok for all distros, it would be nice to have an unique file in
CVS that we could add to linux and may be other unices packages.

We stay in touch.

Last but not least, do you have an icon (xpm, gif,...) ?
