Code to reproduce the described problem

When I install or remove an application the monitors I have installed on it are indeed notified, but the contents of the menu tree does not reflect the new/removed app.

Oddly enough this works fine inside gnome-panel, but my stand alone app doesn't. Please see attached sample code to reproduce the problem.

Clear one-entry cache on events

We were simply not clearing the cache containing the list of desktop files when a file got added or removed, meaning that we always got the same list of desktop files.
