What I meant is that in Firefox [mouse-3] on a tab pops up a menu of tab-related actions other than activating a tab as [mouse-1] does. Also [mouse-3] on a link pops up a menu of link-related actions, on an image - a menu of image-related actions and so on. Emacs could do the same for the toolbar icons. Even in Firefox [mouse-3] on the [Back] toolbar button displays a list of all previous nodes. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
