Agreed, this menu button could even expand the menu below instead of
turning it on/off. This way, non-menu-users could easy access the menu
if needed in the same way of the big K-button on the panel.

I disagree, this would place another dimension (horisontal) into a
vertical menu, for items that are often used. (rightclick-back on the
middle of the screen is much faster than finding and moving to the
toolbar-back-button)

Although this would save space, it would make the menu harder to read. 

I agree on your "Open in ->"-idea.  It should be possible to select "New
window", "New window in background", "New tab", "New tab in background".
(anyone seen these elsewhere? :=)) ) These, among with "Copy link
location" and "Save link as"  are the most used link options when
surfing web pages.

Of course, the situation is somewhat different for file management.
