Hi,

Some selections of alternatives require updating some kind of cache.
I have already met such an issue in the past (IIRC with a Python
module), and I see it happening again with an icon, see #516566. In this
case, after selecting the alternative, it will not be effective on the
user’s desktop until the icon cache is regenerated. Not regenerating it
leads to an inconsistency.

Therefore, it would be nice to allow configuring a hook when setting up
an alternative; the hook would have to be run after any manual change in
the selection, avoiding such inconsistencies.

Thanks for considering,
