The first is, did you reboot? Often an app appears in the menu only after a reboot. I think you may have meant, logout/login.
No, I meant "reboot".
But, I've never seen the need to do that either. I've not encounter a situation where an application, proper installed, didn't show up in the "Application Launcher Menu".
Then "You haven't really experienced life as it really is!" :-) Most of the time what you state is correct but there have been many times when this did not/does not hold. 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. 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.
