Description Andrew Cornwall CLA 2002-07-03 16:01:11 EDT 
Users should be able to modify menus by adding or removing entries. Right now, 
there are a number of complaints because things "moved off the context menu" or 
because there are "too many things on the context menu". 

Plugins should be able to suggest what's promoted to the context menu and what 
isn't, but it should be up to the user to make the final decision.

Paul, I think that bugs similar to bug 284082 should be perhaps set as blocked by this one. Do you agree?

I don't think that's practical.  This is an interesting feature for the power user, but overly complicates the world of the average user.

I would imagine this could be an enhancement similar to what was done for the main menu and the CustomizePerspectiveDialog, but not at this time (it's helpwanted, after all).

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
