Menu isn't updated when a .desktop is added on $XDG_DATA_DIRS, we have to do kbuildsycoca4 manually
Comment 1 Aaron J. Seigo 2008-07-28 23:16:40 UTC 
once you do a kbuildsycoca4, though, the menu updates properly?
Comment 2 Sergio Rafael Lemke 2008-07-29 00:02:20 UTC 
I can confirm this with the traditional kmenu style, install an app (i used xmms) and the entry will appear normally, uninstall xmms and you will note the entry still on menu, running kbuildsycoca4 does not remove xmms icon.

thanks,
Sergio Rafael Lemke

Sergio: that's a different issue, isn't it? (adding vs removal, etc.)
Comment 4 Nicolas L. 2008-07-29 07:46:46 UTC 
i asked on downstream bugreport and the answer is :


No!
" kbuildsycoca4 " and " kbuildsycoca4 --noicremental " didn't resolve.

for sergio, i have the same behaviour, this seems related to the same bug, menu do not see the changes done on  $XDG_DATA_DIRS ( files added, changed, removed )
