The problem is that  ~/.local/share/applications is not monitored. If you
right click on ibar and choose the "Add Application" entry, the list of
available applications will be empty. The same if you choose the "Open
with.." entry of the built-in file manager after right clicking on a folder
or file.

Only  ~/.e/e/applications/all is partially monitored. The "Open with..."
entry of the built-in file manager shows up a list corresponding to the
desktop files that are in ~/.e/e/applications/all, however nothing seems to
happen when choosing one.

I tend to agree with morlenxus' solution to look for desktop files at
locations indicated by the user. This is because on my gentoo box almost all
the applications I install put their desktop files in
/usr/share/applications. Now I am not sure about the freedesktop standards
that were (partially) implemented in e17...
