That's what I was originally thinking to do. However, that would mean that the 
task's context menu would essentially be appended to the applet's rather than 
the applet's context menu becoming a submenu of task's, which I thought may 
be a little bit confusing.

There's also the issue of object ownership. TaskRMBMenu is essentially 
designed to be a throw away menu but contextActions is designed so that 
actions are owned and managed by the applet. With a lot of refactoring 
TaskRMBMenu could be made to fit into that, but I figure that this issue is 
bound to crop up again.
