Thanks. Perhaps the answer is to make the context menus appear as pop-up menus on the nodes that are being manipulated. Since the menu is a pop-up, users are (by now) used to it being contextual, and only showing the allowed operations. The fact that it only appears when summoned (traditionally by right-click or control-click), means that it doesn't have the same psychological permanence of menu bar menus -- and thus has a lower expectation of always being the same. -- Thomas A.
