Equivalent terminal command to launcher icon

How can I find the equivalent terminal command of some program I started from the GUI? For example, I open the start menu, go to accessories, and start the image viewer. Is there a way to find the equivalent terminal command for that action?

            Nice succinct answer but can I suggest you clarify that, from this example, the %f is not part of the command that you might try running on the terminal but rather expanded to a filename by the menu entry. Other options are listed here developer.gnome.org/integration-guide/stable/…
