[Bf-funboard] hiding the menus and other things with RMB menu

[William Reynish]

Hey that is actually a really good idea! Apparently
Ton already is already planning to make the headers
customizable which is very nice. I like your way of
dealing with it - seems ok. I had initially imagined
it would be in the user preferences somehow though.
Don't know which would be best.. Maybe it could get a
little crowded your way, with a huge long list of
buttons to toggle, don't know, would have to use it to
make up my mind. Anyway, it seems like a pretty good
way of doing it. It would be nice if you could also
add python scripts in the headers somehow too!
