But it is not for now, is it?

What I mean is that it would not be difficult to add more intelligence
to the menu backend (and accordingly simplify the frontends), but I am
not sure whether Lars would accept that for 1.3.0. I am not talking of
big changes like MVC for menus here, just moving code around (and for
example moving Opt* handling completely in backend, so that the
frontends would not have to care about that).

The only problem I see is that we would like a binding for the generic
inset-properties (that searches for the nearest item of any kind with
properties dialog). Do we want then to put this entry in menus, for
the sake of making it discoverable? That would produce:
  Inset settings     C-p
  Table settings
if one is in a table, and the two entries would produce the same effect.

So we have to admit that th binding will not be discoverable, but
maybe it is not so bad. 

Also, once we have this binding, I think we should remove
right-clicking as binding for properties.
