KiCad-nightly disappeared from OS start menu.

A few days ago KiCad-nightly disappeared from OS start menu and can now only be started by typing it's full name or from a terminal-emulator.

I noticed this (Linux Mint) a few days ago, and report it now because someone on the user forum (with Ubuntu) also noticed it.
