The RMB menu is suppoed to be context sensitive!  A solution to the feature 
spread available at any point in time on this menu is to only show the items 
relevent in the current context.

There are three major areras within a Konqueror file manager window,

	1. Object icon
	2. Object name
	3. White space

Clicking on these differenet areas should result in different RMB menus - not 
just a greying out of a few options as is the case.

For example, if I click RMB on a file, I want to do something with that file - 
I don't want to go back/up etc.  At this point I should be able to delete the 
file, or open it with a particular application.

If I click on the name of a file, I'm pretty much going to only want to rename 
it.

If I click in white space, I'm not going to want to delete, open etc - I'm 
either going to want to create a new object or navigate...

Regards,

aid
