I've no idea if there's any way to force menus on various desktops environments to refresh after a new program is installed or not. But I'm pretty sure there's no way for me to make it happen through the "make, make install" process. All I can do is put the Sigil desktop file where the desktop environment can make use of it. The DE has to do the rest.
I don't typically have to restart before the shortcuts appear in the DE's menus. But I might have to log out and back in. There's a db of some kind that needs to update/refresh. I have no idea if it would show up after certain period of time has elapsed or not.
