Thumbs extension

I'm trying to get my feet wet with some extension
translation and I've
decided to work with a extension I use frequently and isn't
dll based.
The thumbs extension available at
ht
tps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/234 is the
one I
borrowed. I am aware that k-meleon doesn't support
install.rdf files
so I built an install.js file using bugmenot as a template.
It also
didn't seem to contain a thumbs.manifest so I created one. I
can't
seem to find a mechanism to 'install' this extension,
although I can
now access the files via urls such as
chrome://thumbs/skin/thumbsOverlay.css which seems to
indicate it is
indeed registered. The problem I think exists is that the
thumbs
extension when installed on firefox somehow registers a
right click
menu addition that obviously isn't getting registered in
k-meleon.
Does the install.js somehow get called automatically? when
loading it
in k-meleon it just displays the javascript. I'm assuming
its this
install process which adds the context menu stuff. From my
(limited)
understand the only thing then required would be to write a
kmm macro
that would add the link to the right click menu and pass it
all the
highlighted links as parameters. Any reference of something
else I'd
be able to glance at to figure out what I must do to get
this
extension working under k-meleon?  My generated install.js
and
thumbs.manifest are attached below

--install.js--

Hi Sebastian Val,

Mozilla/SeaMonkey installer service has not been used/added
for security 
reasons.
It would have allowed users to install incompatible
extensions.
Firefox installer service is not available for K-Meleon at
the moment.


You will find info about existing extensions via this
thread: 
http:
//kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?1,72013,page=5

You will find prototypes and info for the current K-Meleon
installer 
service.
NSIS setup was also chosen for now and the near future:
http://perso.orange.fr/jujuland46/Ju
juLand/KMES/KMES-Generalities.html#kinds

Index pages via: 
http://perso.orange.fr/jujuland46/JujuLand
/KMES/KMES-Generalities.html

The page also contains a K-Meleon extension that helps with
to test 
Xul-applications:
http://perso.orange.fr/jujuland46/JujuLand
/KMES/K-Ext110_JarTester.exe
With the manifest files that extension lets You start a
extension.
That and a look into Console2 tells You whether You have a
good/bad chance.
If You have a chance - Console shows You also what You have
to edit/alter.

Documentation for writing manifest file by hand: 

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Chrome_Manifest
If I write by hand I use an existing example and alter it
(but I try to 
avoid this procedure)
Manifest files can be easiest auto created by K-Meleon. You
just run a 
correct: installed-chrome.txt.
The name of the manifest cretaed by K-Meleon:
app-chrome.manifest. I 
scavenge that.
(K-Meleon always creates an app-chrome.manifest when no file
with the 
name exists in chrome folder and a installed-chrome.txt is
found at startup)

One problem: AFAIK Your extension wants to manipulate a XUL
interface 
that K-Meleon does not have.
But I am not sure. IMHO Your procedures should lead to
success if the 
extension is compatible. Console2 will tell You.
The last word has the experiment, said the chemist before he
blew up the 
laboratory
