Auto-refresh in GNOME desktops
I ran a program that creates a start menu launcher on a GNOME desktop and after the program finished executing, started looking for the launcher in the Applications menu. I couldn't find it & initially thought that my program failed to create the launcher, but later discovered (accidentally) that the launcher was indeed created, but GNOME required a manual refresh either by a "logout and a re-login" or a "killall gnome-panel".
The same behaviour is observed in the Nautilus File Browser that shows a particular folder, when a file in that folder is being modified in another window.
Being a loyal and true supporter of the GNOME community, I only wish that small nice-to-have features like these are made available in its future versions.
