Maybe you can, but I can't. :) I just get the applet context menu.

What's *really* interesting is that regardless of where I middle-
click, I get the applet context menu over in the left-hand corner,
and I can't actually access any of the menu items unless I mouse
over there. (I'm using the tasklist in "Windows emulation mode", so
to speak, and it's the leftmost item in the panel.)
