Public bug reported: When installing software through the Add/Remove menu, the applications menu doesn't get refreshed after the item is added to it, so it doesn't show up. Running Alacarte reveals that it has been added to the menu correctly, but the main menu doesn't reflect this until the next X session.
The software package in question was Monodevelop, which appears under Programming in the main applications menu. ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Needs Info -- Software package installed, but menu not updated until next X session https://launchpad.net/bugs/57956 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
