several weeks ago i fixed some bugs related to context menus in kdevelop. This 
is one of the issues i left open. I feel like some of this context menu stuff 
needs a rewrite.
There are a bunch of other issues, that need to be fixed:

  - using a mix of XMLGUI and self-created context menu requires several hacks

  - the need to modify this context menu as it is about to be shown requires
    additional hacks

  - grep-part accepts any size of current selection and appends it to the
    context menu

  - "goto man page" should check, if there really is a manpage. Preferable
    list which man pages are available, if more than one.

I'm still thinking about how a rewrite of context menu stuff in kdevelop could 
be solved best.
