&gt;<i> Simple w a &#233;crit :
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Hi,
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> After running Mageia and a debian based distro Linuxmint, one thing
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> appeared strange, after installing a rpm (that included .desktop
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> files) the menu entry didnt appeared after the rpm installation, it
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> takes about 10 seconds after the rpm install to have the new entries
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> in the kde panel menu (or kmenu), and in the debian based distro the
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> time between the package install and having the entries listed in
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> kmenu was almost instant.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Is this a problem thats only related with rpm packagement or could it
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> be improved so that the menus could appear after the install in kmenu
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> (without having to wait about 10 seconds)?
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> regards,
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Pedro
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>    
</I>&gt;<i> I hadn't noticed that, but I'll look next time I install something.
</I>&gt;<i> It could be unrelated to rpm, but more how xdg is implemented in Mageia
</I>&gt;<i> vs Mint.
</I>&gt;<i> (Since both would use xdg with .desktop files.)
</I>&gt;<i> Mageia uses the same method with menus as Mandriva did, which
</I>&gt;<i> accommodates both Gnome (which I use) and KDE.  That could account for
</I>&gt;<i> the delay.
</I>
That shouldn't really have an effect on the delay, it is just a
different layout.

Possibly
a) Simple w didn't use KDE in Mint but another DE, which would affect
   the speed (maybe the other DE detects changes more aggressively), or
b) Mint somehow triggers menu update when a package is updated (not
   as easy as one would think, as packages are updated by root
   and menus are user-specific), or
c) An interaction difference between apt and rpm which causes KDE to
   detect menu file changes slower, or
d) A KDE bug.

&gt;<i> At least a 10-second delay isn't a major problem.
