Only last week I installed an app (cannot remember now which one it was) which did not show up anywhere; I had the exact same situation as James. It only showed up when I *rebooted* - and I mean rebooted. You only did it last week...and you can't remember? And there are many times...but you can't name one?
No, I cannot remember. I fool around with Fedora, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Knoppix, openSUSE, Ultimate Edition, PCLinux..... You have a problem with me not remembering which which app it was?
I think it all has to do with the fact that Linux keeps apps/config files in RAM when they are running and simply changing users (logout/login) does not clear what is retained in RAM.
Sorry, without your giving concrete evidence I will go with my personal experience.
