One of SqueezePads main philosophies is to stick with the original menus
of a Squeezebox, to not confuse users who switch devices (i.e. sometime
directly use the Radio or Touch, sometimes use SqueezePad)
So for consistency reasons I won't add an artificial menu item.

Yes - this tapping the whole bar is from the very early days of
SqueezePad when there was no home button. I might consider adding a
context menu to that bar indeed.

I'm not a big fan of gestures, that are not explained by some App
tutorial (which in turn I also don't like as people tend to forget what
is said in tutorials, when they use more than 1 App). 
Already 25% (gut feeling) already don't find the context menus with a
long press as I can see from support requests. (Android UI guides are
better in this regard by rendering a small corner for context menus
instead of trusting the users to find out about long presses).

I'd guess that less than 5% of users know that flicking the cover in the
Apps you mentioned does anything? 
I heard it the first time today actually.

I'm afraid adding more gestures is not planned right now.
