down-mouse-3 means that it will need to keep the button pressed to keep
the panel visible/accessible?

If so, then that's not what the user expects in general. I have not
strong feelings about this (actually no feelings at all).

My main concern is that having a "kill" on double right click the
behavior is very error prone when trying to access the panel and could
produce accidental and unexpected behaviors very frequently.

That's why I think that protecting from an accidental kill requiring a
control presses is better while we remove the need of having "another
panel more" and we bring a more familiar/natural behavior.
