I would like to see support for actions in GNOME too. We have a very
simply use-case for bluefish: Opening a bluefish-project file needs a
different action than opening other supported files. ATM I have to use
2 .desktop files (one is not shown in the menu). Having the
possibilities to define actions would make things easier.

BTW: I thought, KDE implemented desktop actions?
