I don't like the idea that we can't add a right-click menu becuase none
exist elsewhere.  They can be useful and in this case it's a better
solution.  Althougth more common on ms windows right click context menus
have become more popular on other platforms in recent years.

Interestingly I had no idea what the copy button did (before I changed the
dialog).  Mainly because it was normally disabled and I didn't want to copy
the statistics.

I could add a tooltip as a hint to the user, "right-click to copy
statistics", this might help?
