lomiri: app icons in the launcher's drawer sometimes don't appear (e.g. directly after package installation)
How to reproduce this issue:
- Install Debian 13 minimal on physical hardware (e.g. a notebook) or a VM, and run
apt install lomiri
. Reboot. - Login into Lomiri
- click on the logo top-left and open the launcher's drawer
- look at the icons and app names, all should be visible as you'd expect things to be
- Install some package that adds a .desktop file to /usr/share/applications, such as xterm
What you will observe:
- The xterm name shows app in the launcher (actually xterm comes with two .desktop files, so to app entries)
- but the xterm icon will not be shown immediately after installation
- logout/login
- Icon of xterm apps are shown
What should happen:
- after app installation app name and app icon should appear immediately
Check also:
- There is a report in Lomiri upstream, that a similar thing is happening with .desktop files that have
NoDisplay=true
- Also assure that when uninstalling apps, entries are properly removed from the launcher's draw and the launcher
