One reasonable solution might to have a tooltip which has the list of options, but that is a bit ugly. I run into this problem with totem and ogg files. Sometimes I want to just play them, sometimes I want to enqueue them (via totem --enqueue). Perhaps the best solution is to fix totem so that it adds an Enqueue entry to the menu for files that it is associated with. -- Michael R.
