Tested this extensively in budgie - installing/removing repeatedly via gnome-software, budgie-welcome, command line. Works everytime.
This patch (as mentioned above) copies back the artful patch 80_file_monitor_delayed.patch - it is unchanged. In terms of risk I would say none - the same patch has been in 17.04 and 17.10 - and was also in 16.04 and 16.10 minus one tweak I made previously to stop budgie crashing. Thus this patch has been very well tested over the years! ** Patch added: "file-monitor.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-menus/+bug/1765799/+attachment/5137377/+files/file-monitor.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-menus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1765799 Title: Applications menu does not get populated with recently installed apps using apt Status in gnome-menus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Applications menu doesn't get populated with recently installed app using apt. For example, after installing Firefox using apt, its shortcut does not appear immediately in the applications main menu. It only appeared there after I rebooted (maybe logging off also does the job). A “refresh menu” action has to be triggered somehow after installations.
