Comment:

 After discussion with erikos on IRC, it actually seems not to be as
 different as I originally thought.
 First delay will bring up the tooltip, like it does for other menu buttons
 (where right click does the same). Second delay / right click will bring
 up the actual color chooser. None of the other menu buttons I've seen so
 far had additional capabilities and the xo figure in the home view behaves
 the same.
 OTOH, both the other existing "chooser" menu items (e.g. drop down list,
 table) and the rest of the menu buttons react to left click, while the
 color chooser doesn't do anything on left click.

 Personally, I'd expect left click to activate the color chooser. But that
 might simply be a matter of being conditioned to left click as primary
 means of activation.

 As a last (and probably least important) point I'd like to note that
 depending on right click (even if just to reduce the delay, as delays can
 get quite annoying) will increase the effort needed to port Sugar to
 touchscreens. Don't known whether or not Sugarlabs cares about that.
