My opinion is that the X way of copy and paste is so efficient, nobody
will use context menu's for the address fields.
I even find the keyboard shortcuts laborious.

I think that 99% of people will not require it and once you get used to
the easy way that X does it, you will probably also not need those
context menu's.

I come from a Widoze environment and after I discovered the easy cut 'n
paste of Unix/Linux, I replaced all my two-button mice with 3-button or
wheel mice.  I even have the paste part implemented on Windoze.

Just my opinion.
