Bug Description
When you install the nvidia driver, Nvidia X Server Settings isn't added to the System -> Administration menu until you log out and back in. (And that's after you rebooted to install the driver, and therefore already logged in once)
Steps to reproduce:
Install a fresh install.
Use jockey to install the current nvidia driver.
Restart, as recomended by jockey.
Login.
Look under System -> Administration for Nvidia X Server Settings, and observe that it isn't there
Log out.
Log back in.
Look under System -> Administration for Nvidia X Server Settings, and Find it listed there.
I'm attaching two screenshots.

I just checked the package, and the reason is that the nvidia driver does not actually ship the .desktop file in /usr/share/
What we can do here is: nvidia-

- Jockey doesn't add nvidia-xconfig (Nvidia X Server Settings) to menu - after installing nvidia driver until you re-login + doesn't add nvidia-xconfig to menu after installing |
As of 2010-03-10, after installing the nvidia-current driver, I checked the menus. System -> Administration does contain the GUI tool immediately after installing drivers. Unfortunately, after following the hardware drivers tool instructions to restart, the tool disappears from the menu.

What Martin said is correct. In the postinst script the nvidia packages create the link to the .desktop file, which explains why this doesn't trigger gnome-menus.
I'll set "dpkg-trigger gmenucache" in the postinst scripts so that the problem is solved.

This seems to me more like a bug in the gnome menu rather than a bug in Jockey
