And also best that these apps not require configuration prior to gaining 
access to the preference (e.g. the Evolution example given earlier).  
Requiring users to set up applications in order to not be bothered by them 
in the menu is not a usability win.

For the Qt/KDE implementation, the stricture might be more relaxed.  Right 
click on menu items is quite normal and not at all unexpected.
