[SOLVED] Context Menu By Right-clicking Panel Launcher

Hi,

I wonder if it is somehow possible to open a context-menu of a program by clicking its panel-launcher with the RMB. For example I want a context-menu to decide, if I start my Firefox in "Normal-" or "Private-Mode".
Are there another workarounds? I already tried other docks, but they seem to be kinda buggy.

Greetings

Just add an appropriate item to the launcher:

- Right click the launcher and choose "Properties".
- In that window, General tab > Add existing item > Firefox.
- Then click on the Edit button, change the Name and Commentary fields if desired, and put this [1] as the command or order:

firefox -private-window %u

- You can pick a different icon also.
