Right-click is flawed, as it doesn't offer to start the app if no instance of
the app is running already:

To start a new instance of an app, you are supposed to drag'n'drop the Favorites
icon onto the desktop. Right-click only works if the app is running already.
As I told you in the other thread I have already fixed it upstream,
that is you will always see a "New window" item regardless
if the app is running or not (once the fix hits rawhide / f15).
