[packagekit] Creating cache the first time

[Ken VanDine]

Here is the flow, user installs PK and reboots.  Opens up
pk-application and tries to do a search, gets no results.  He waits...
2 hours later he tries again, nothing... But he has been activily
using his computer.  I told him to run pkcon force-refresh and all is
happy again.  It is really only an issue for users that have never
populated the cache... and only until the system goes idle long enough
for it to kick in.  Perhaps we need a method to determine if there is
a cache, and if there isn't pk-application refreshes?
