+Notes on unity development:
+
+Quicklist desktop file specification:
+ Adding a new quicklist entry requires modifiying the desktop file of the
+ application the quicklist belongs to. You will need to create a new group
+ named Quicklist Entry UID, with UID being a unique id (in the scope of the
+ desktop file).
+ An example follows:
+
+[Desktop Entry]
+...
+...
+...
+
+[QuickList Entry 1]
+Name=FooBar Action
+Exec=foobar --thingone
+
+[QuickList Entry 2]
+Name=FooBar Second Action
+Exec=foobar --thingtwo
+
+[QuickList Entry 3]
+Name=FooBar Third Action
+Exec=foobar --thingthree
+
+ Name and Exec follow standard Desktop file specifications and can be
+ translated in the same mannar as standard desktop files.
