I'm not normally in favor of the right-click in Web apps either, 
although I suspect more than a small part of that is my developer hat 
talking (not wanting something to keep me from getting to the 
right-click browser menu).

As long as it's not trapping right-click for the entire page, and it's 
confined to specific, obvious parts of the UI (the Collection Selector, 
the lozenges), I think it might be workable.

We got fairly consistent commentary from the FLOSS Usability Sprint that 
a context menu could be really helpful for certain common actions. 
Granted, it's UX people talking, not normal end-users, but the feedback 
was pretty universal.
