[Bug 1518775] [NEW] gnome-panel cannot show newly installed software icons

 

Public bug reported:

1) First => sudo apt-get install gnome-session-flashback


2) Then => re-login user with "Gnome Flashback (Metacity)" session


3) Next => install a software that does not exist in gnome-panel menu list previously, such as "sudo apt-get install mousepad"

However, after installion of mousepad, its icons doesn't show in gnome-
panel menu list. I have to:

4) killall gnome-panel

5) gnome-panel &

Then, the mousepad icon can be shown in gnome-panel menu list.

This might be caused by forgetting to update icon menu list from gnome-
panel
