Re: [Ayatana] What do to about right-clicking on the indicator-applet?

[Jarlath Reidy <jarlathreidy@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I'm teaching people how to use computers - I tell them to think of 
the right button as the 'menu button' (the word context is off-putting 
to many).

This drastically improves their ability to interact with the desktop and
 predict what behaviour is expected of them. It makes sense to them and 
it's consistent; left button to 'activate' things, right to 'operate'. They 
generally learn faster then as operations like copy / paste become discoverable. (The only thing that catches them out is when to single-click and when to double-click, but explaining the difference between the file-manager, desktop, web-browser and toolbars etc comes later. )

Having a different menu for each button seems to fall between two lines 
of thinking and personally, I get caught out all the time by the current
 setup - I can't remember which button to click to get the menu I want 
because to me there is no sense to it. I can't make a distinction between the two menus without getting very anal and that's not a good thing for users in general I believe, assuming I'm not very alone of course.
