Aha, nice. This does leave room in for middle clicks! Still, question
is, what should you display on activate signal.

Jarno suggests a menu, but for how many items? only preferences... well
then you can display it directly imho. You could add several common menu
items instead, and drop the less common menu items from the right click
menu context.

As of my first use of the pm, I was disoriented that a click didn't do
anything, so I right clicked it and... well I chosen to open the
preferences dialog.
