Re: How to refresh gnome-panel, other than using killall ?

No, not the gnome-menus. I'm concerned with the launchers on the
gnome-panel. What I've observed is, if a desktop shortcut, which is
again a .desktop file is modified, it automatically gets updated. But
when a launcher .desktop file, located in
~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers/ is changed, it doesn't get
reflected on the panel.

So, does that mean I have to do killall gnome-panel?
'n is there any way to refresh the panel, without applets getting
killed?

thanks,
Puthali

I can not use killall, as running applets get killed and some fail

come up afterwards.


If you're talking about your menus it's likely a distro bug.
gnome-menus uses gnome-vfs which uses gamin (or inotify?) to
automatically update when something changes. If this isn't happening
something is likely built wrong (or built with --disable-fam).

So I wanted to know if there is some gnome-api which I can call, to
refresh the panel or only the launcher also?


There is nothing you can do other than restarting the panel if the
autoupdate isn't work.
