Comment (by anevilyak):

 Replying to [comment:8 humdinger]:
 > Would it be acceptable to name it "Show in Deskbar" (checkmarkable)?
 Then we wouldn't need different items when in windowed mode ("Install in
 Deskbar") and simply removing the checkmark in Deskbar mode saves us from
 calling the item there "Remove from Deskbar". "Show" sounds to me less
 anthropomorphized and cute than "Live".

 It's not really a matter of anthropomorphics though ; the use of "Live"
 was specifically intended with the connotations that it persists there
 after the app goes away. "Show in Deskbar" doesn't really have that same
 implication, and could leave it ambiguous if the deskbar icon's going to
 stay there when the app exits or not. Not all Deskbar replicants are
 persistent after all (i.e. status indicator for an IM app would not be).
