Bug Description

More of a big feature missing.
Description of the problem: There are some static quicklists (the ones defined in the .desktop file), that, from their nature shouldn't exist while the application is running.
Well, by using dynamic quicklists you cannot hide or alter in any way the static quicklists and, in my humble opinion this is wrong!
For example, if a music player has the static option: "Start Playing", and the user click on this entry and the app launches, the app would be nice to have the ability to change afterwards the static entry and alter it to "Pause Playing", or even disable(not to hide) the static entry and add another entry with the label "Pause Playing".
All options would be nice to reset back to the static ones when application closes. If this isn't possible (because as I've realized even the normal dynamic quicklists do not reset to the static ones when program exists by itslef (automatically), as i.e. the unity progressbar does), then at least should let the program re-fix the entries back to normal (hide all dynamic and show all static) when closing.
