Programs missing from menu after install?

Hey guys just got my install up and running, using Cinnamon desktop.

So, after installing a program via pacman it wont populate in my menu until I reboot. For instance chrome, I can launch it from the terminal but can find it when I search for it under applications, once I reboot its right where it should be.

any ideas, I like to not reboot every time I install a package.

I don't use Cinammon so I can't test it, but maybe you can just log out and log back in?  I know it isn't a solution but it should be quicker than rebooting.
