Surely the right solution is that the app itself should be registering in the 
menus on its own!

If the app is a Fedora package, file a bug against the package for the 
missing .desktop file, which is required according to:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Desktop_files

If it is a third-party application, complain to wherever you got the 
application from.

If it is your own application, have a look at xdg-desktop-menu, or package it 
as an RPM and have a look at the packaging guidelines as quoted above.
