Description Luca Ferretti 2008-12-11 19:46:44 UTC 
From HIG [1]:
 * Double-click or Space key should perform the icon's default action
 * Right-click or Shift+F10 should present a menu for the icon containing
   at least the icon's default action

Default (and unique) action is open the dialog, but currently 
 a) the dialog is showed on _single_ click
 b) no menu rigth clicking

I'm opening againts 2.24 'cause I forgot to test on latest trunk :)

The HIG is wrong ;)  But the status icon is wrong too.

We should change the behavior to show a menu on both left and right click to be consistent with gnome-shell's a11y menu.

It still shows a dialogue because that piece of code should die a horrible death, and I won't be fixing it.

    a11y-keyboard: Show the a11y dialogue on right-click
    
    As we do on left click.
