I think a better solution would be:

--snip from earlier mail --

Webbrowsing-mode:

Location        -> Send -> Link / Page

Another item is removing files. Most users only use either delete _or_ trash
 or _shred_ (with shred probably being used less than 1% of the time).

Therefore it would make sense to reduce the number of menutitems the
 following way:

Instead of all these three items you get only one menuitem: Depending on
 which way to remove a file the user used last this is either "delete" or
 "shred" or "Move to Trash".
To be still able to change that menuitem we introduce a submenu "Remove"
 which contains all ways to remove a file. So in case "Delete" was used by the
 user previously one would have:

Delete
Remove   ->   Move to Trash
                      Shred
                      Delete

In the same way this should work for the context-menu.

Context-menus: These are meant to increase navigation-speed.
Therefore they should only contain those actions which the user needs most of
 the time. "find file" is definately not such an action.

"Background Color" And "Background Image" should be moved into
 _one_ menuitem "Background" which activates a dialog in which you can
 decide between both options via a radiobutton.
