re "open with", etc.

In English, I think the best construction is "<verb> <preposition> this",
where <verb> is usually but not always the activity name, and preposition is
activity-specific. Paint on this, rewrite this, read this, browse from this,
etc. With the icon as an extra clue to meaning. In general, the phrase will
not be able to just use the activity name - to begin with, verbs in other
languages need conjugation whereas the activity name will be infinitive. So
I think that this should be another line in activity.info, and there should
be no %s for munging in the "this" (in some languages, this could change
depending on the surrounding words, like a/an in English). If the
activity-specific string is missing from activity.info, Glucose should
default to ("%s with this" % activityname).
