    Put the "Restart/Pause/Suspend/Stop and the Devices Menu in the context menu of the parallels dock item.

    Hi,

    I use usually use parallels in fullscreen so I don't have access to the menubar with all the parallels options like:

    Pause
    Suspend
    Stop
    Restart
    the Devices menu point

    So to reach these I always have to pop out of fullscreen do what I wanted to do and jump back in again.

    I also use virtue for virtual desktops, so I can easily switch between Mac OS X and parallels.

    By switching back to one of my Mac OS X workspaces I also get instant access to the dock and also to the parallels dock icon.

    Now we all know that the dock icon has a context menu that some applications already use to give the user fast access to a few functions without bringing the application the front.

    Parallels should use the context menu of the dock icon to give fast access to the menu items i mentioned above.

    Long story short:

    Put the "Restart/Pause/Suspend/Stop and the Devices Menu in the context menu of the parallels dock item.
