I'm not sure about that being more usable on normal systems where you have  
a second mouse button available. You have to wait for a second for the  
menu to appear, which is time-wastey.

However, it'd be a useful feature if, say, you'd just installed linux and  
ion3 on a MacBook, where there's only one button available without  
kludging the touchpad.

On the other hand, you can bring up the context menu with Mod+m, which is  
better than both because you don't even have to touch the mouse :)
