  I'm not sure that is good idea: There are already some items injected in context menus (e.g. Unlock widgets action) and looking at my panel some applets' context menus are not injected. I believe it is because they have multiple menus bound to specific parts of itself and only applet's global menu is (and can) be injected. Most notable examples are systray except the expansion arrow and task icon manager except empty space (if it has set `fixedWidth` I was unable to find a place in it which would show me context menu containing Unlock widget action).

  The combox is currently in the popup showing on hover when panel controller is open. I can make it replace spacer's specific option. I can just remove spacer's option from its context menu and add some temporary code to convert spacer's option into the new one. (And a few version later we can drop this code.) Is it what you meant or did I misunderstand you?

  Done.
  
  Changes:
  
  - Fix config item label
  - Show checkbox only for expanding applets
  - A bit polish checkbox placement
