That works to bring up the menu, however, there are two problems with that solution:
1. The menu pops up in one pre-defined location, not dynamically wherever the ObjectDock icon (or the mouse) is.
2. The menu pops up as a static ObjectBar on the desktop, and does not function like a popup menu. It does not go away when you click elsewhere, or make a selection, like a menu should.
It seems that I (or someone) would have to write a Docklet explicitly to create a menu like the one I had in Objectbar.
This is just one more example of what appears to be a major problem at Stardock: they keep making these desktop enhancement applications (ObjectBar, ObjectDoc, DesktopX, IconX, Fences, etc.) that are not only not aware of one another, but often seem to cancel each other out (e.g. Fences and IconX).
Why can't you place a DesktopX "widget" onto an ObjectDock? You can place a DesktopX widget onto an ObjectBar (with imperfect results). Why is it that if you run IconX, your fences dissappear, and vice-versa? These are all Stardock products, why don't they play nicely together?
