[QGIS-Developer] Disabling map context menu via PyQGIS

[Johannes Kröger (WhereGroup)]

Thank you guys so much for your great suggestions!

Since I am not already overriding QgsMapCanvas or using a custom MapTool 
at all times, I went for Benoit's solution (which Benjamin hinted at) 
and it works great.

A hundred internet points to you! :)

Cheers, Hannes
