Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.1) OS: Linux Lancelot does not update when a new program is installed or other changes are made to menu entries. Workaround: logout then login again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add lancelot launcher widget to main panel. 2. Install a new program (e.g. sudo apt-get install partitionmanager) OR change menu contents using KDE Menu Editor, etc. 3. Search the lancelot menu for the newly installed application or any changes made. Actual Results: The menu shows no changes, updates, or newly installed programs, requiring a logout or reboot. Expected Results: Kikoff's behavior (update transparently and automatically). All default config used. No changes were made to lancelot's settings.
This is also the reason Mint 10 KDE could not use lancelot as the default launcher. This bug was considered a showstopper for one of the world's most popular Linux distributions.

p.s. It would have been nice if somebody from Mint reported this as a showstopper before they released the new version...
No kidding... problem is, when nobody reports bugs, they'll often just go unfixed. KDE is really good at responding to bug reports, too. It's crazy... Anyway, thanks Ivan. :)
no problem :)
