Context menus
When you right-click on your Linux desktop you get a context menu displayed. It looks like this:
How to edit it highly depends on your desktop environment.
See /usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-containmentactions-contextmenu.desktop

Questions
- why can't I
plasmoidviewer contextmenu
- while i can use the contextmenu in .kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc
- why can't I use charselect in .kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc
- while I can
plasmoidviewer charselect
- seems this is determined by the type. One has
ServiceTypes=Plasma/ContainmentActions
the other
ServiceTypes=Plasma/Applet
- hm... do ContainmentActions need an init function to work? And in case of javascript Applets, just the javascript code is executed and an init function is not needed?
