Ok, I've been looking at this and I think I've worked out what is going wrong. It is indeed in gnome-menus, and it's not passing on the notifications from gnome-vfs that the .desktop files have been created/changed/etc. I'll post a patch shortly. This will also close five or six other duplicate bugs.
