Not a weak argument: having to manage multiple windows can be painful,

Mmmm, so it is up to the user to fill the predefined locations, right? I
think it would be simpler to just turn the Copy/Move/Link items into
submenus, something like this:

+--------+
|...     |+------------+

What do you think?
