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).
  
  
  I'm fine with dropping the context menu action, would be nice for the spacer to share the same mechanism and ui, definitely!

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?
  
  i would like it as a checkable toolbutton with no label (but a tooltip) in handleRow, between configureButton and the label
