Description Ivar Erikson 2020-04-14 08:38:34 UTC 
SUMMARY
Sometimes when opening the Simple Menu (SM), it doesn't show any applications ("All Applications"). I have to change categories forth and back to have the menu populate with apps.



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
It's not something I have been able to reproduce. It seems to be something that just happens form time to time.

OBSERVED RESULT
No apps are shown. Have to change category to have it populate the All Applications category.

EXPECTED RESULT
Show applications without having to change back and forth.

I'm able to reproduce it by:
* Adding/removing a .desktop entry in ~/.local/share/applications
* Installing/removing a package that provides a .desktop entry (which would add/remove a .desktop entry in /usr/share/applications)
