I don't want more visual clutter - more things to *choose* that I'll never use, or select by accident!

I want to select between a couple useful options, not be bombarded with a billion choices for every click.

When I want a billion choices, I use the command line.

I would like to be able to 'right-click > delete' an item from the Gnome Panel menu's. TY

I have often thought that removing a program through a context menu would be very handy.

Perhaps an idea would be that you could be able to chose wich alternatives you want on your menu. Maybe from a setup-utility of some kind. That way, you can have as much or little clutter as you want.

Two right-click actions we could definitely use from the menu

1. remove item from menu
2. show menu item properties (dialog with name, icon, command line...)
3. Maybe a delete application with confirmation box of course
