If you're talking about your menus it's likely a distro bug.
gnome-menus uses gnome-vfs which uses gamin (or inotify?) to
automatically update when something changes. If this isn't happening
something is likely built wrong (or built with --disable-fam).

There is nothing you can do other than restarting the panel if the
autoupdate isn't work.
