KDE is what I have here.

At the risk of revealing a degree of obtuseness that even I did not know I 
possess, here is what I see when I click MB2 on a program icon and utter the 
incantation "voila":

Open
Cut
Copy
Rename
Move to trash
Open with
Actions
Compress
Copy to
Move to
Properties

Examining the sub-options for each one of the above, I find no mention 
of "icon". What am I missing?

N.B.: It works the same way with "Eureka" instead of "voila".
