Hmm.. I had a feeling this would be the case ;-)

It would be really worthwile, as a browser without a context menu is a bit lame.
On the other hand, it looks like it needs a lot of effort, so maybe there's
another way to get at the data? I remember some module in the Pickaxe which
allows you to convert C structures into pure Ruby objects by describing the
sizes of the individual fields. Would this also be possible with C++? I guess
this solution wouldn't be clean enough for the binding, but maybe it would work
fine in my application.

Anyway, thanks for your help!
