I'm not normally in favor of the right-click in Web apps either,
although I suspect more than a small part of that is my developer hat
talking (not wanting something to keep me from getting to the
right-click browser menu).
As long as it's not trapping right-click for the entire page, and it's
confined to specific, obvious parts of the UI (the Collection Selector,
the lozenges), I think it might be workable.
We got fairly consistent commentary from the FLOSS Usability Sprint that
a context menu could be really helpful for certain common actions.
Granted, it's UX people talking, not normal end-users, but the feedback
was pretty universal.
