Why would you expect to find them? No other menu on the desktop has them, and even half of the menu items on this particular menu (the ones that are sub-menus rather than launchers) don't have them-- even though those are exactly the ones you'd want the "Entire Menu" context menu items to be attached to. > and for others, they don't clutter the UI. No, but they do increase the risk of error, given that in every other menu, right click == left click.
