For instance if we just Right_Click "Released" by default we keep the P&D mechanism, but if we keep the Right_click pressed for a moment (10ms for instance) we display the context menu.

Put your comments there.

The mechanism looks good, and the details of the various menus appear to be well thought-out. Something I would want to see is the ability to hit the context menu key available on most Windows keyboards as an alternative to having to reach for the mouse. Another issue is that I've submitted a change request asking that the top-level "Clusters" folder in the Clusters tool be removed, because it just gets in the way; but if you did so then you would have to figure out where to put the "Add Cluster" context menu item. I don't think this is a problem, however: "Add Cluster" could simply go on the context menu of a cluster folder.
