An interesting thing about this papercut is that it is primarily trying
to help explain what the function of a right clicked menu item will be
for a user who is not already familiar with it. What about adding a
description that pops up on the menu when hovering over the selection,
similar to the way a text box opens up when hovering over an HTML image
described with a title tag?

An example of this would be as follows. Assuming you are reading this in
Firefox, and assuming that you have the NoScript add-on installed (and
that some scripts are forbidden), right click on this page and hover
over the NoScript.

Similarily, as suggested by @sub.mesa above under
Applications->Accessories->Terminal, if you hover over the Terminal it
gives you a description (All panel items do so).

Would this papercut not become a great deal less troublesome if the
Nautilus right click menus also could pop up a short description of the
function?
