Hm, why are you so dogmatic? Normal user uses _left_ click for opening the menu and _left_ click chooses an menu iterm and closes the menu. So it is quite usefull to reuse _right_ click for other task, such as for selecting multiple items out of the menu at once. I don't see any reason, why a dialog box must be used if for most users the menu is optimal way (because they select only one item most the time) and the minority may use it with the right click in a more powerfull way. -- Petr Tomasek <http://www.etf.cuni.cz/~tomasek> Jabber: [email protected] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EA 355:001 DU DU DU DU EA 355:002 TU TU TU TU EA 355:003 NU NU NU NU NU NU NU EA 355:004 NA NA NA NA NA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
