Items in menus have an associated popup menu that enables you to perform tasks related to the item. When you right-click on an item in a menu, the popup menu for the item opens. The popup menu also contains a submenu that enables you to perform menu-related tasks.
You can use the menu item popup menu to perform the following tasks:
Add menu items as launchers to panels.
Remove items from menus.
Open the Run Application dialog with the menu item command in the dialog.
Add menus to panels. You can add a menu as a menu object or as a drawer object.
