Powerful enough as a quick access to applications, places, documents, contacts, and system information. Not quite remember when the problem begin, but I think since KDE 4.6.1 this launcher gives me two issues, which are the menu cannot refresh when a new program is installed and the two columns limit function that gives blank favourite section after browsing into categories. For menu not refreshing issue I found a workaround by logging out then logging in again though, but certainly this bug is a showstopper since I was using this Lancelot menu as a default menu launcher. The workaround for the second issue is also can be avoided by using no column limit function for the Columns behaviour but I really hate the looks because now the menu look cluttered when I have many categories menu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Waiting for updates from the kde-dev team from 4.6.1 to 4.6.3 hope it fix this issue results nothing, so I&#8217;ve been diggin around the kdeplasma-addons and found some clue with kdesycoca cannot update this lancelot menu but have no idea how to create a fix.
