Problem with popup menu cache system

[RUAUDEL Frédéric <ruaudel embl fr>]

Hi,

  I'm the maintainer of Nautilus-actions [1] which allows to add custom 
menu item in the popup menu of Nautilus and I have some trouble with the 
menu cache system (see Bug #325584 [2] ). When a user add an action with 
my extension, Nautilus doesn't update the menu content every time for 
obvious performance reasons. There is three differents behaviours :

- For the popup menu of a bunch of selected files or folders in a 
Nautilus' window, the menu is refreshed when the user changes the 
current selection (not very annoying).
- For the popup menu generated on the background of a Nautilus' window, 
the menu is updated when the user close this window and reopen it (a bit 
annoying).
- For the popup menu generated on the desktop, the menu is updated when 
the user restart Nautilus (eg. with the command "nautilus -q" ) or log 
out his gnome session (very annoying)

These tests has been made with Nautilus 2.12.

So if I'm right, I would like to know if an extension has access to a 
function of Nautilus which asks it to refresh all the menus ? If not, is 
it feasible in a near future ?

Thanks in advance for your answers,

Best regards,

Fred
