On Monday 13 May 2002 20:57, Eric E scribbled down on a piece of electronic

My main concern has been the general context menus that comes from konqueror 
(or the appropriate kpart) and are visible in fileview in konqueror, the 
desktop or any other part that implements it. I also have some visions for 
konq itself, but I look at it as being a whole other topic.

Sounds good by me.  :)

I'll see if I can write down some of my ideas and thought and make them a bit 
more general than the last mail which mainly went after just one of the 
context menus. Having a guide for how context menus should and should not be 
in konqueror could be good for future development too.
