Whenever I install a program which provides a menu entry I have to do an "update-menus" from my user account after installing a package. Otherwise there is no menu entry in fvwm2.
At work I use Window Maker and there the installation procedure takes care of the menu entry. It's not necessary to issue said command as user. Can anybody out there explain this? Both systems run hamm although the installation method is different: At home I use dpkg-mountable pointing to the cdrom reader and at work I use dpkg-ftp. But somehow I doubt that this could be the reason for the difference.
