  Media in 'Places' side bar should have same context menu as in
  'Computer'

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  I find it pretty confusing that the context menu of (removable or non-
  removable)  media is so short, as compared to what you get when right-
  clicking the same drive after a click on the 'Computer' toolbar icon.

  Especially from removable media (USB-Sticks, SD-Cards...) I want to
  right-click the places bar to select "Properties", in order to learn
  about the remaining disk space on the drive, which is very useful when
  drag-dropping files and folders into a drive listed in the places side
  bar.

  Of course, I don't want to navigate away from my current folder
  (because I might have files selected, or the view scrolled down by a
  specific amount...), neither would I want to open a new window (from
  the side-bar list's drive's context menu), then right-click into this
  new window again and select 'Properties' from there...

  For me, this is mostly about disk-space, but I'm sure there is a lot
  more cases when people would need a not-so-crippled context menu in
  the places list.
