G'day, |

It has been my impression that the gnome-panel's main menu is based on |
| 4 |
info in files in /usr/share/applications. However there are items in my |
| 5 |
menus (for example, other/kate and other/kwrite) without files and |
| 6 |
there are files without entries (for example, virtualbox.desktop). |

I've tried 'killall gnome-panel' to force a restart and, hopefully, |
| 9 |
rebuild the menu tree. The panel did restart, but the menus didn't |
| 10 |
update and my icons for editor, mail, and browser were b0rked -- not |
| 11 |
what I wanted! |
| 12 |
|

Also, looking in ebuilds I've found menu and desktop related |
| 14 |
directives, like "make_desktop_entry ..." and "doins ... desktop", but |
| 15 |
sometimes /usr/share/applications doesn't have a corresponding entry. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Can somebody please explain how the gnome main menu is built, where it |
| 18 |
resides, and how to force a rebuild? |

Thanks. |
