Thanks for the input, Uli!

I think for now I'm going to stay away from the Click & Hold behavior 
and just use a contextual menu and the normal click/rotate behavior.

I've had a few testers who like the button. It only has a few choices 
to rotate through so it's handy for quick switching. I'm still 
playing with it, though, and may end up going the popup route.
