Thanks for your response, but it implies some work on the developper 
part which the latter may
not think to do.
My point is to make this menu on every message and status bar, and I am 
sure I have missed
other widgets where it makes sense.
For example if I want to report an error gimp told me in a dialog box, 
why should I type something
that is already displayed on the screen. I should be able to copy it 
whether or not the developper
thought about this possibility.

Thanks.
