That context menus *are* more hidden than submenus.  They have no 
visible access cue to the new user and cannot be made unhidden for 
multiple actions.

Please tell me how to select an item from that menu without moving my 
mouse to an item on it!!!  You do not want to understand, do you?  To 
*USE* the menu rather than just display it, you have to move to an 
element that was not visible when you started!  This is very slow!
