Erik B. Andersen (azendale) wrote : Jockey doesn't add nvidia-xconfig (Nvidia X Server Settings) to menu after installing nvidia driver until you re-login

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.
