Hi Pablo,
Indeed, TeXworks setting parameters for the first time is unclear for those who don't know where is ConTeXt executable :
Linux : /home/user/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin is not the first place where one is looking for an executable file;
it's only clearer when we understand that it is the place of most ConTeXt executable files (see below Windows's CTX executables) :

[...] You only have to configure two things : the path where texworks finds context executable (~/home/context/tex/texmf-linux32/bin or /.../linux64/bin, and the same for Microsoft Windows). And a to give a little parameter to TeXworks. Many thanks for your explanation, Jean-Pierre.
I have tried to set it up before, but with the wrong path to binaries. I thought they were located in the ~/context/bin directory, when they actually were located in the ~/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin directory. Everything works now as expected.
