[robg adds: I noticed this the other day, and it's got potential ... but Apple's decision to not allow System Prefs to be running without a window makes the contextual menu less useful. To get the menu, System Prefs must already be running, which means it's got a window that's either on-screen, minimized, or hidden. If it's on-screen, you save all of one mouse click with the pop-up. If it's minimized, the pop-up seems to do nothing -- no window appears. But when you un-minimize the window, your selected pane is active. That leaves hidden mode, which is where this is most useful, and how I've come to run System Prefs in 10.3. Select a pop-up, and system prefs comes to life with your chosen pane. Do what you need to do, then Command-H to hide the window again. Come on Apple, we can run QuickTime and iTunes and iMovie and ... without any windows open, why not System Prefs??]
