Dear Karen,

EMBOSS is a suite of command line programs, so they will not be seen from the
menu of your graphical session. If you look for an interface packaged in
Ubuntu, then I would like to suggets ‘EMBOSS Explorer’ (package
emboss-explorer). Alternatively, you can try Jemboss, but this package is still
very untested (feedback welcome!) and was never part of a stable Debian release
(the EMBOSS packages on Ubuntu are originally made for Debian).

If there are other interfaces that you are used to and would like to suggest
for packaging, please do not hesitate to let me know. I was considering
EMBOSS-kaptain, but I am affraid that both projects (EMBOSS-kaptain and Kaptain
itself) are inactive for a long time, and I do not know how well they would
work with KDE 4…

Have a nice day,
