I thought as much about "_" being for translations.  I still wonder why

(nconc window-ops-menu (list '() (cons "destroy" destroy-window)))

doesn't work.  In the value of window-ops-menu the format of an entry
seems to be a cons, ie. a dotted item where the car is text and the cdr
is a command to execute.
