That's also my recollection.  In particular TTY menus actually
_expect_ to find a meaningful string there.

So I think we need to reinstate the name in the context menus (though
perhaps we could come up with a better name than "Context menu"), and
if some toolkit wants to ignore it, they should do it when they create
the menu widgets to show the menu on the screen.
