Application Manager should issue a dbus call that makes Today reload all the
.desktop files.

Fixed in r3283 using the code from matchbox-desktop2, which uses inotify.

Although this works fine on the desktop, it would appear inotify isn't working
on the neo? :/
Would be good if someone that knows a bit more about inotify could comment on this.

To duplicate the problem:
Create a test_bug.desktop in /usr/share/applications and fill it in as
cat > test_bug.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=test-bug
Exec=/usr/bin/ls
Icon=applications-games
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Game
StartupNotify?=true
SingleInstance?=true
Comment=To test the bug.
Save it.
Open the application browser.
It's not there, and there is no way to load it.
