I have modified the .desktop file of an application that appears in the GNOME Dash. This should change the options that appear in the application's right-click menu, but to see the changes I have log out and in again.

I have tried running restart in the Alt + F2 dialog, as suggested in another Dash-related question, but this does not refresh the application menus.

What command will refresh the menus?

Restarting the desktop shell with Alt + F2 then restart will indeed refresh application menus in the dash.

(I had an error in my .desktop file that made it look like nothing was happening.)
