I second that! ....

...sorry, couldn't resist ...grin

Anyway, as Pascal explained, coming from OO UIs context menus are kind of
a logic thing, but in order to become intuitiv I believe they have to
be used consistently across the entire UI, otherwise they are just too much
'hidden'. For example I would like to have a context menu which lets me choose
from the set of available services for the selected object, I hate going to
the main menu for that purpose.
