Hi

I'm opening this bug because I'm seeing a trend in KDE4 desktop-containment \
development that it's starting to look just as cluttered as its KDE3 counterpart. I'm \
talking about the desktop context menu, which is now showing by default 9 entries. If \
we are following the "toolbox paradigma" then lots of options should be taken away \
from the RMB menu (which is, as you all know, less discoverable). For example, the \
add/lokc widgets entries are already present in the plasma toolbox, so they may \
disappear. The leave/lock buttons are out of context. We are in "desktop context", \
not "session context". We have the ALI to logout. The run command is an advanced \
option (ALI is the basic way to run commands, even keyboard typed), it's out of \
context (what have in common a run command dialog with the desktop?) and again, it \
shouldn't be there.

So basically I'm asking to leave only the icon arrangement entries (that are totally \
in context, not duplicated elsewhere and which presence there just makes sense) and \
the configure desktop entry (an in-context shortcut). \
