My idea was to propose to the user to be able to configure how to 
display its actions by adding the possibility to define category (maybe 
limited to one level to suit HIG). So if the user has only one or two 
actions, (s)he can keep it in the main menu and if (s)he must deal with 
dozen of them, it can categorized them in different submenu throught 
Nact, the config tool. Not sure I'm clear.

Anyway, Ross is right, as the actions are contextually displayed, you 
can have dozen of actions configured but only one or two appearing in 
the popup menu at a time.

All the reflexion I have and received about this problem are stored here :
