Dont need to log out... you can open up a nautilus window for the
Desktop subdirectory
under your home directory and hit refresh and the new desktop entries
magically appear.
I would file this under gamin if its not already filed.  I see this on
my fc3t2 updated to rawhide as of this morning. So whatever is going
on its still applicable.

This is a hal bug/feature, so file it against hal if its not in
bugzilla already.

I have sun's jre working with firefox. If you have a broken symlink
that strongly suggest to me that you aren't creating the symlink
correctly.
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/:
libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
worksforme in firefox.

rpm -q jre
jre-1.5.0-rc
