Just want to throw my 2c into discussion.

Script Installing.
------------------
The script installing animation totally rocks! Thanks.

Monkeyface menu.
---------------
I like being able to see my installed scripts, and agree that there must 
be a place for userscript commands.

I just do not like that menu pops up on left-click. Almost every UI I 
use makes shows such menus on *right* click. In not too distant past GM 
behaved this way and I liked it.

I click on monkeyface with right button and cry in despair - nothing 
happens.

Also, I think that userscript commands are a too hard to reach. 2nd 
level of popup menu that appears when one clicked small icon in the 
statusbar?

Suggestion
~~~~~~~~~~
It would be more convenient to open userscript commands from document 
context menu - just click somewhere on the page and choose item from 
"Userscript" menu. May be the script can even react to the page object 
clicked (just dreaming).

If above is not possible - second good place for userscript commands 
would be *left click* popup on monkeyface. Nothing more - just click on 
icon and choose from list.

Everything other - list of scripts injected, Manage UI, enable-disable - 
will live happily on *right click* popup and be shown only when needed.

Thanks.
