You look in the distributed rc.xml and find out that execute actions work 
like this:

  <keybind key="W-p">
    <action name="execute"><execute>gimp-1.3</execute></action>
  </keybind>

and desktop actions like this

  <keybind key="A-F1">
    <action name="desktop"><desktop>1</desktop></action>
  </keybind>
