[Bug 1765799] Re: Applications menu does not get populated with recently installed apps using apt

[fossfreedom]

since the package version is the same, the patch equally applies to both
cosmic and bionic.

Please can this be applied to Cosmic - then SRU'd to bionic?

Title:
  Applications menu does not get populated with recently installed apps
  using apt

Status in gnome-menus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Applications menu doesn't get populated with recently installed app
  using apt.

  For example, after installing Firefox using apt, its shortcut does not appear immediately in the applications main menu. It only appeared there after I rebooted (maybe logging off also does the job).
  A “refresh menu” action has to be triggered somehow after installations.
