           Summary: Newly installed applications appear in the menu only
                    after logout/reboot
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde08 at sfina.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Installed Kubuntu 8.04.1 from scratch. Tried to add applications using apt-get
/ aptitude as well as building from svn/cvs and make install. In all cases,
applications that would usually show in the menus ASAP in Gnome don't show in
the menu in KDE. They are available from the CLI, though. The next day the apps
are available in the menus, as expected.

Expected behaviour would be for the menu entries to be updated and available
right away after the sudo make install.

this is my first bug report here, and in general I am a KDE newbie. thank you
for your patience and your feedback.
