heck yeah. add a contextualActions function and have the default
implementation of Containment::contextualActions call it if wallpaper exists.
con: custom desktop containments might break that unintentionally
pro: custom desktop containments can intentionally stop it if they want to.
if we don't think the containment plugin should be allowed to block wallpaper
actions then just add a separate function in Containment,
wallpaperContextualActions, and have the contextmenu plugin draw from that
too. or if ContainmentActions plugins can access the containment's wallpaper
object directly we don't need a function to forward the data. :)
