Another idea is using a toolbar which always is context sensitive.
I mean it does not appear or disappear but only shows buttons having
a meaning for that context. When you change context, the buttons
change accordingly.

This way you won't have a separate menu and toolbar anymore but an
integrated way to access all features.
