Where is the list discussion?
Comment 4 Allison Lortie (desrt) 2013-07-09 15:39:16 UTC
I noted on IRC that I'd appreciate some additional clarification on what "Actions" means in this case (ie: some words about how this is specifically intended for a right click menu item associated with the application icon in a launcher).

This will help the case of "app authors don't know what other desktops might do with this" that was raised on the list.
Comment 5 Allison Lortie (desrt) 2013-07-11 16:19:21 UTC
Jasper clarified with me on IRC that the language in the spec is already strong enough.

The majority opinion on the list is very much in favour of this change, so let's do this.
