Ehh, what version/options are you using? I get a menu at the moment I click 
it.. (before release).
The way it should be.

This is the way the current cvs version works, which is very good in my 
opinion.

The option for MMB drag on icon as an extra (besides the dragable handles) 
might be nice for power-users though.

The RMB menu has to be looked at IMOHO, I believe the RMB should work
per content. If there is no content (i.e. the background of kicker) the kicker
menu should appear. Even if (for example) the taskbar applet 'takes' that space. 
RMB on an icon gives you the icon menu. RMB on an applet should give you the 
applet menu.
