Removing the menubar was not my decision. We debated about that some times ago 
and we ALL decide about that. I can remember me and Lionel counting opinions 
and we all vote for no menubar.
It's unuseful debating again every time someone ask for it. We'll see again 
after 0.3 release.

About right click.. I removed it, that's my decision. I think we should not 
let user customize our "so simple" UI and just provide an option in rekonfig or 
in the tools menu.
I'll fix it ASAP.
