     The receiver is notifed when the action is triggered (QAction::triggered()).
     HbMenu also has a triggered() menu signal, which signals which HbAction was triggered in the menu.

-
-    A menu and a few actions are created. The triggered() signal of the menu is connected to
-    the mute() function of the enclosing class (implementation not shown).
