subject: a .desktop shortcut conta

Hello all,

I just took a look into the "chromium-browser.desktop" file found in the
"/user/share/applications" folder, and noticed that it contained multiple
"Exec=...." lines, in as many chapters.

According to information I found here
http://lxlinux.com/pcmanfm-actions.html rightclicking .... I assume the
shortcut should give a context menu as shown in the image top-right of the
webpage.

The problem is that I can't get that context menu to appear. :-(

Left- or rightclick clicking the above .desktop file doesn't cause such a
menu to appear.   Trying them in combination with SHIFT, CTRL or ALT doesn't
work either.
( I do get the standard context menu ofcourse, but none of the choices
described in the main chapters "Actions= ..." entry are visible anywhere)

Is there some secret handshake involved somewhere ?   If not, what is going
on/wrong ?

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

P.s.
Yes, its in combination with my previous question.  If the above works I do
not need to check for a modifier key when a Python script is started.   I
can than simply add a commandline switch. :-)
