Would it be possible to add a way to add a context menu to a menuitem? 

Galeon 1 had lots of contextx menus on menuitems, specially for editing
bookmarks (removing them directly form the menu, adding a bookmark to a
folder, editing them, opening a whole folder in tabs...). Lots of people
used that feature. Actually, I used it a lot more than the bookmark
editor. This feature has been dropped form Galeon 2 now that we use
bonobo menus.

Context menus on menuitems are used also in the panel, and I've seen
this feature also in MS-Windows (at least on 98, IIRC). Having a way to
do it in bonoboui without weird hacks would be great.

Greetings
Ricardo
