I agree. Two places to accomplish the same thing seems confusing.</blockquote><div> </div><div>That's like saying files shouldn't have context menus because
you can do [nearly] everything there by left-clicking in some form. Don't take this personally, but it's a poorly thought out response.<br><br>The reason why this makes so much sense is the context of how people reach the decision that they need to remove something.<br>
<br><b>When I load up the Application menu, I want to run a particular application</b>. I'm trying to get things done. Interrupting that process to search for a package in a package manager, gets nothing accomplished. But if I could right click and deal with 90% of the process <i>from the menu</i>, my system would undoubtedly be less cluttered and I'd be happier.<br>
<br>I don't see how adding context menus to the menu items could confuse anybody -- there <i>are</i> context menu's on almost everything else in Ubuntu -- I argue it's confusing that there aren't context menus!<br>

</div>Why can't the user go to add/remove programs to uninstall them if [s]he<br>
went there to install in the first place?<br>
