I didn't know KDE 4 implemented this, and therefore have no knowledge of the details. Rapid googling brought me this: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Creating_Konqueror_Service_Menus which seems very similar to the proposed system. In fact, they seem to use: [Desktop Entry] Actions=(string list) [Desktop Action %s] Name=(localestring) Exec=(string) Icon=(string) The primary difference I see is that they allow merging multiple desktop files to create one list of actions, but I see that their original use case was the context menu for a file manager, not an app launcher. Btw, with either this or the Unity syntax, I was not able to get multiple actions in the k menu, so if a KDE developer could step in and tell me where I'm totally wrong, it would be appreciated.
