Re: Panel UI - startmenu productivity thoughts

I don't think I proposing this (because if we wan to support directly editing the menu,
we would probably want to reserve Right Mouse button for context  menu use),
but this reminds me of the OpenWindows Menu feature, Left Mouse button
would pop-up the menu, Right Mouse button would invoke the first thing on
the menu.
