ya, but the menu key is kinda screwy in Sawfish... I have to set the 'focus
delay' up to 100 milliseconds or more for new windows else the menu ends up
behind all the other windows, but with it on, all full-screen OpenGL apps (using
XF86 4) end up getting an annoying blank window sitting in the upper-left corner
that kinda blocks my view.

I think an option with the right click would be more intuitive.
