Summary:                    Middle-click on panel launcher should launch application w/ clipboard as argument
Description: 
In WindowMaker, it is either the default, or an option, that when docked
app launcher's are invoked with a middle-click, they are invoked with the
clipboard contents as the argument.

I would love something like this in Xfce. Even allow the user to configure
the cmd to invoke w/ the middle-button.

Perhaps even there could be some standard variables that could be
specified on launcher command lines that would be expanded at the time of
launch.

For example, there might be a "clipboard contents" variable so, I could
use a command line like this:

MozillaFirebird $(clipboard)

and that would invoke MozillaFirebird with the contents of the clipboard
as the first argument.

feature request should not be filled here. Please make feature request
either on the wiki or better on xfce4-dev list

(this is a good idea though :)
