Yes. But I can't remember which section of the menu it appeared in.can I launch xbmc from the menu entry?
if not how do you Launch it?
Failing that you can find the desktop icon in /usr/share/applications. You can click on it or copy it to the desktop.
Or if you type xbmc in the terminal it runs a python script that is in /usr/bin. This sets up some debug/crash logging and then runs xbmc.bin.
If you run xbmc.bin directly it works without needing python
