running "update-desktop-database" does nothing visible.

According to that web page:
update-desktop-database: updates the database containing a cache of MIME types handled by desktop files.
If that is all that it does (ie it doesn't have any other hidden/not-mentioned functions) then it's not going to refresh the menu/desktop icons.
