I packaged the new version 0.91 for Fedora Core 5 and improved the RPMs 
to include a menu icon.    The source RPM should easily rebuild on other 
distributions.  (Note: I don't have access to publish these RPMs through 
any RPM repositories such as Fedora Extras.)

In case you want to include a menu icon, just create the file 
/usr/share/applications/tuxmath.desktop with these contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Tux of Math Command
Comment=Math tutor and game
Exec=/usr/bin/tuxmath
Icon=/usr/share/tuxmath/images/icon.xpm
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=Application;Math;Science;Education
Encoding=UTF-8
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.9

One problem I noticed is that the program runs very slowly over Xming, 
an X11 server for Microsoft Windows, even though the X client and X 
server are on a LAN connection.  (On the other hand, the loading 
progress indicator, menu operation, and game play work much better 
remotely over VNC.)
