Program (like XPad) not shown in menu after install

[Etamuk]

Hello,

when i install a new program there often is no menu-entry for this new program. But it is shown in Menu-Editor.
After logout and login the menu-entry is available.

Please see my screenshot.

More Details:

2 days ago i installed Xpad (from Ubuntu Software-Center). After install was complete there was no icon in menu. I had to logoff and login again to see the program in menu.
Yesterday i installed Vivaldi (.deb-Package from vivaldi.net) and it worked fine.

Just because this happens with "program[s] like xpad" doesn't make this an xpad bug. The xpad package (both in the previous and the latest version) installs its desktop file using the standard methods provided by debhelper. Such entries consistently not showing up in the menu until after a new login while they do appear in a menu editor is likely an issue or design choice of your desktop environment.

Unless you can demonstrate this bug is specific to the xpad package only, please reassign to the "common denominator" (probably the desktop environment or -less likely- debhelper).
