Well, sure.  I recall using right click under X windows a long
while before Windoze was even useable (for some $value of
useable :-) as a platform.

It just seems odd, that when Apple is trying to position itself
as an alternative to Windoze (switch campaign) that some things
that would be easy to implement to make the transition easier
aren't there.  Or, at least an option to *configure* the right-
click menu (or maybe that's some AppleScript kung fu I don't
know?).

I guess you can't have everything, but Aqua + Darwin is pretty
damned close.
