Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: desktop-file-utils
Related packages: gnome-panel 1:2.30.0-0ubuntu2, python-gmenu
2.30.0-0ubuntu4, xdg-utils 1.0.2-6.1ubuntu3
The /usr/share/applications/desktop.*.cache file is not updated when an
(attached example) entry is added by xdg-desktop-menu or desktop-file-
install. Gnome-panel detects creation of a new desktop file in
/usr/share/applications and displays it in the menu immediately, but on
its next start (e.g. after logout/login) the old menu without new entry
is displayed because of the cache. This is not a problem for native deb
packages, for which dpkg triggers the python-gmenu postinst script
responsible for updating the cache. This is only a problem for ISVs,
that install their (LSB) packages themselves. This bug will force them
to delete all such cache files. Is this deletion acceptable?
Another possible solution would be to update the cache in update-
desktop-database command.
I haven't found such cache on Debian testing nor Fedora 13, so I think
this is Ubuntu's invention, thus reporting it here.
