Bug Description

The two things I do most often with my main menu (after using it) are

1. Adding/Removing choices, by managing options in the System > Preferences > Main Menu window
2. Modifying the properties of a choice, either fixing the icon or changing its launch command

I don't have to do this very often, admittedly, but whenever I do it is annoying to rediscover that I cannot access a menu items Properties by simply right-clicking it, and it is similarly annoying to be unable to Edit Menus unless you right click at the very top, which I only recently discovered, or more likely go to System > Was it Preferences or Administration? > Ah yes. > Main Menu

Would it qualify as a papercut fix to have an "Edit Menus" option in the context menu of every menu item, and a "Properties" option in the menu of leaf items?

Apologies in advance if this is a duplicate, but I didn't come across anything similar.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

This is not an issue faced by an average user and more of a feature request . Feature requests are not papercuts.
A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

@Erich Wolodzko : Further IMO, *Edit menu is definitely not a frequent operation* , hence adding the "Edit menu" to the context menu of every item , is a totally unnecesssary duplication.

But, the bug is still active in gnome-applets and the devs concerned applet are the better judges.
