$ which binary-name

That should get you the path to the installed binary.
For Libreoffice, that would be 

$ which libreoffice

I don't use Gnome, but it probably reads your 
/usr/local/share/applications directory.

Try adding .desktop files to it manually. Although it's suspicious
that they aren't there already or that Gnome wouldn't pick them up
if they are.

Also, just a piece of friendly advice: 
Try to give more discriptive subject lines when posting to
the mailing list next time. It helps other people to help you. :)
