[18:36] <sney> hi there, I'm preparing a package for the new upstream release of hexchat. when testing the build/install on an ubuntu vm, I found that hexchat icons are not added to the unity menu.
[18:36] <sney> hexchat.desktop is unchanged between the current release in wily universe and my new package so I'm not sure what to look at that might have caused this. the menu behaves as expected when installing on debian.

[20:35] <mitya57> sney, did you try to log out / back in?
[20:36] <mitya57> There is a race condition in gnome-menus that may result in apps not being shown after installation.
[23:21] <sney> mitya57: that fixed it exactly, thanks. not my fault then I gather... though it was weird that the menu shortcut appeared right away after the previous version was installed via apt
