Does anyone but power users use *either* menu, though? I wouldn't think so.
All the "common" operations are already available in buttons: close,
minimize, maximize, help (correct me if you think these are not the most
common). In addition, 'sticky' has a button, which has never seemed to have
a point to me (I'd much rather have a button for always on top, which I use
regularly). Move and resize can be done by dragging, shading by a double
click (or middle click, etc.) That leaves Always on Top, Store Settings,
Configure..., and To Desktop. I'm just wondering if many casual users (the
ones who I assume would be least apt to try right clicking -- again, correct
me if I'm wrong) actually use those menu items.
