This would also enable use, to have a "Save options" entry in this
menu, implementing the following behavior: Just changing an option,
changes the setting for the running application.  The application must
make sure, that this configuration is restored, if this application is
restarted and using session management.  Selecting the "Save options"
entry makes these options the default for every new instance of this
application (so, a probably better name would be "Make default", or
something like this).
