What Martin said is correct. In the postinst script the nvidia packages
create the link to the .desktop file, which explains why this doesn't
trigger gnome-menus.
I'll set "dpkg-trigger gmenucache" in the postinst scripts so that the
problem is solved.
** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-96
As of 2010-03-10, after installing the nvidia-current driver, I checked
the menus. System -> Administration does contain the GUI tool
immediately after installing drivers. Unfortunately, after following the
hardware drivers tool instructions to restart, the tool disappears from
the menu.
