Description Felix Ableitner 2014-12-09 13:23:38 UTC
When installing a new program in a terminal, it is not listed in the krunner search results when typing in part of its name.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a program from terminal (eg `sudo apt-get install keepassx`)
2. type the start of the program name into krunner search (eg "kee")

Actual Results:  
The program is not shown.

Expected Results:  
The program should be listed in the search results.

As a workaround, one can restart the computer, enter the exact name of the executable, or run the following command in a terminal:
    kquitapp krunner
    krunner &

I'm running Kubuntu 14.10.
$ krunner -v
