Actions used to be part of the desktop entry spec, but I guess nobody
really made use of them and they were removed. I had a patch to add
Action support in GNOME at one point but they felt they would just make
things more complicated. I still think there's some benefit to
including them if we can find compelling use cases.

Hello,<br><br>I've got this idea that I've been thinking about for a long time.<br>I'm a Gnome user and I'm very annoyed by the unfriendly/inflexible<br>system provided by the gnome default applications and gnome volume
<br>manager settings panels.<br>So I though I'd get it written down on the freedesktop wiki:<br><a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec/ActionsIdea">http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec/ActionsIdea
