Hi,

The bug hasn't been fixed, but somebody changed the status for the fun
of it.

This doesn't work because it just isn't supported at all by dbusmenu and
unity. Note, that while we want to introduce modifier state in to the
dbusmenu protocol (so that CTRL+click and SHIFT+click work properly), we
won't be adding right-click support (ie, the context menu isn't coming
back). AFAIK, Firefox was the only application to support this, and no
other GTK application did. We want the menus to behave consistently
across applications rather than having users open the menu and wondering
whether right-clicking will perform the action under the pointer or open
a context menu instead.

The title of the bug report should probably be updated to reflect that.

Regards
Chris
