From time to time I need to start some applications from command line, either to watch for debug messages, or to run the application as a different user.

Most times I'm unable to remember the correct filename to start the application. So I end up using Ubuntu's menu editor to watch for the correct command line, unfortunately the Gnome main menu applet isn't capable of showing it's configuration otherwise.

I accidentally discovered a neat trick to shorten the procedure a lot: Instead of using the menu editor, just drag and drop the menu entry to an open Firefox window:

Should have thought about that earlier.
