When removing the "cheese" package with yum on Fedora 10 x86, I noticed that the entry in the starting panel had not been removed... is there a bug in the rpm package of this program or what else causes this?
Regards,
Christoph

Panel icons don't go away in general till it is restarted. If anything, that is a bug in the panel. Killing the panel makes it auto spawn. That's a quick and dirty way of making the icons go away.

What does he mean by starting panel? Does he mean manually added application launchers that were dragged from the menu, or does he mean the application menu? If he means the application menu, i can't reproduce them problem.

Manually added application launchers.

Sorry, it's the application menu I mean. There, an entry is automatically created when the package is installed. In the starting panel, one would have to manually create an entry.
Sorry for the confusion I caused.

I can't reproduce the problem on my F10 system. So I'm at a loss. The menu entries get added and removed as I would expect.
Do you see it with any other package?
For example if you install gpodder you should get a menu entry in Sound/Video and if you uninstall gpodder that menu entry should be removed as well.

Installing and removing gpodder with yum works fine. I can install cheese, but the icons now don't even show up in the application menu. Restarting gnome-panel or a full reboot did not bring any other results. Starting cheese from the console works.

What? Here is what I see when I install cheese
menu: Applications->Sound & Video: menu item: Cheese Webcam Booth
do you have a file on your system called /usr/share/applications/cheese.desktop ?

Yes, I do have the corresponding .desktop file,but I am still missing the entry in the menu, as you can see on the screenshot. In my german version of Fedora, the entry ought to be "Cheese-Website". But as you can see, it is not there.
