OK, so I have a hundred objects (say file icons) on screen that I can normally 
manipulate by right-clicking them to bring a context menu with actions that 
apply to the object I clink on. How on earth will *removing* the right-click 
that brings a context menu for *that* object will ever help me?!

Do you propose that I'd have to first click on the object to select it and 
then move the mouse to the main application menu to hunt down things that I 
could do with the previously-selected object? That's rather dumbing things 
down, isn't it? At least to me it is.

Cheers, Kuba
