[SailfishDevel] ContextMenu inside a PullDownMenu

[Thomas Tanghus]

I'd make a page for that:

    PullDownMenu {
        MenuItem {
            text: 'Settings'
            onClicked: pageStack.push(Qt.resolvedUrl('Campuses.qml'))
        }
    }

And then have a SilicaListView with the campuses in Campuses.qml.
