  <title>The Launcher Icon Menus</title>

  <p>Right clicking on a Launcher icon will reveal a menu of actions.  The
     actions available depend on whether the icon is locked to the launcher or
     not, if the icons is for an application whether it's running or not, and on
     the specific icon itself.  Available actions can include the following.</p>
  <list>
    <item><p>launching the application or opening the document, folder, or
              device</p></item>
    <item><p>unlocking the icon from the Launcher if it was previously
             locked (see <link xref="shell-apps-favorites"/>)</p></item>
    <item><p>locking the icon to the Launcher if it was previously not locked 
             (see <link xref="shell-apps-favorites"/>)</p></item>
    <item><p>quitting the application if it's running</p></item>
    <item><p>switching between application instances or windows if there is more
             than one instance or window</p></item>
    <item><p>application-specific shortcuts such as open a new document or
             window</p></item>
