I don't ;)  I don't like the menu at all.  I must have been on
crack when I suggested it in http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115153
Sorry :(

IMHO, the menu is overkill.  In my experience in KDE a drop action on a
selection or only the drop object if the object is outside the selection.
(see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117403)

Select all is easy:  Control-A, then drop the tag(s).  IMHO if one
drops to an object outside the selection the selection should be 
cleared and ignored and the tag(s) only assigned to he drag object.
This leaves us with only one action and cancel in RMB.
Much easier and simplifies the workflow IMHO.
