I'm not sure how that is supposed to be done (correctly). But I did install: gtk-update-icon-cache and then tried: sudo gtk-update-icon-cache (and) sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor (and even) sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -v /usr/share/icons/hicolor all with no apparent results. (Hope I didn't mess up my system)! I am surprised, since I thought Cinnamon was based upon Gnome 3. So, still have to restart Cinnamon to have programs appear in the menu. Not a major problem, but annoying nonetheless.
