Hmm. Now it works. I dont know what was the problem.
But I think, that there must be a way to get the action menu with mouse. Now 
the only way for a new user to get the menu is to open the Preferences... 
menu, and look at the shortcuts.
There is no way to access it with mouse!!! That's a big usability issue.

You are probably right. But then the action menu should be submenu of the 
current, or any better solution than that.
(I would prefer to put the history of the clipboard to a submenu, and put the 
actions in the place of it. I dont use too frequently that clipboard history. 
YMMV. So maybe there could be some config options for it. Of course feel free 
to come up with a better idea :) )

Me too :), just I want the mouse access of action menu added too, if somebody 
is already looking into it...
