Interesting ... sounds like a Ubuntu-specific problem with the context  
menu, as it also works on the Mac. I'm not sure whether it works on  
Gutsy (Ubuntu 7), though. I'll have a look. (IIRC, there are some  
other Linux-specific context menu bugs we've worked around in the  
code, so maybe this one is similar).
