I'm working on getting some nice desktop integration of our product, and
as part of that I'm trying to get the application to show up on the
menu. If I do this by the book, putting icons in
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps, touching the top-dir and place a
.desktop file in /usr/share/applications then it works immediatly in
GNOME. KDE isn't so automatic and I can't find a reliable way to do it.
kbuildsycoca refreshes the menu and gets KDE to pick up any changes. But
most users will do a su in a console when installing the package, so it
will refresh root's menu, not the current user (or any other users
currently logged on).
Is there a reliable way to get all running KDE instances to pick up
changes to the desktop files?
