Take the 2-minute tour ×  Right clicking the Nautilus icon in
the unity side bar brings up first a list of favorite locations,
followed by the standard "Open a New Window" command.  The "New
Window" command is defined in
/usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop, but the list of
favorites is not. How does the .desktop file know to fill the
launcher with the list of favorites? Where does this information
come from?  Is this some "special property" of Nautilus, or can
such "favorites" entries be defined by our own applications?
