Good point, however:

1. No other browser on earth does this, I beleive (which may or may not be a 
valid point.. depends)
2. Context menus/popup menus have historically always been context sensititive 
(both in KDE != konqueror and everywhere else..)
3. We already make users avoid spots/areas for specific things. I think users 
learn fast when the click an icon in the desktop and discover they can't 
arrange the icons like they can when they click on the background.

A compromise might be adding some kind of "Document" submenu for things like 
images/links which show this stuff. This is like how kicker's applet handle 
bars work with their Panel Menu. However, I don't think this idiom works as 
well in Konqueror.
