Description Martin Fitzpatrick 2008-04-03 10:02:41 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When installing new packages the Application Launcher menu does not refresh with the new applications until KDE restart, or in a new instance of the Launcher menu. Makes it difficult to use recently added applications (e.g. I installed OpenOffice and it will not appear until KDE restarted / create a dummy launcher on the desktop).

Application Launcher should refresh / watch the installed application list.

This applies to 4.0.3 (this latest release is not available in the version listing on here yet). Apologies for any confusion.
