Carsten: The placement of the actual context menu is still under debate. I
originally had the menu in the old location of the "brush" button, but
this doesn't really feel intuitive as the context really defines
everything that's shown in the panel. One option could be to position it
as a one icon width vertical menu between the "pin" button and the context
path to make it clear it's the "top level" choice.
I also think both behaviors (context by selecting "parent" first vs.
explicit selection via the new selector) are useful, so this could perhaps
become a user preference.
Doug: Changing the menu ordering for more consistency is a good idea
indeed.
