initial run of lxsession-default-apps is not populated with all the options

[Lyn Perrine]

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. load lxsession-default-apps
2. see that lxterminal is not listed under terminal emulator
3. reload lxsession-default-apps
4. see that lxterminal is listed under terminal emulator

EXPECTED RESULTS:
The database update at the beginning of lxsession-default-apps should be sufficient to update the list of apps.

ACTUAL RESULTS:
It takes several database updates sometimes to get the list of apps to correctly populate.

WORKAROUND:
Reload lxsession-default-apps until the app appears.

sorry for driving everyone crazy with the status changes but i was in the middle of confirming this when i found i couldn't reproduce it after all.

i did find that rxvt-unicode-256color showed up, along with its dependencies of uxterm and xterm. lxterminal, too. if you hit the reload button do you have the same problem?

i can also say everything is in update-alternatives and there aren't obvious problems with the .desktop files. it's unclear to me just browsing the code quickly what lxsession-db is building the database from, so i'm not sure where to look.

anyways by the time i got that far, everything was there. i purged sakura and terminator and reloaded lxsession-default-apps and they were still there. i hit the reload button. same thing. then i closed and reloaded lxsession-default-apps and they were gone. i confirmed the same behavior with claws-mail, so it's not just the emulator.

because of the workaround, i will mark this as low.

Actually, the reload button is for reloading the app, so that's irrelevant.
