Title:
  Panel should be right-clickable when window is maximised with global
  menu enabled

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in Compiz:
  Won't Fix
Status in Unity:
  In Progress
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Currently, it is possible to right click on the name bar of a window to get the drop-down menu allowing the following actions:
  - Minimise
  - Maximise
  - Move
  - Resize
  - Always on top
  - Always on visible workspace
  - Only on this workspace
  - Move to workspace x
  - Move to workspace y
  - Move to another workspace > ...
  - Close

  However, when a window is maximised and the top bar is merged with the
  panel, allowing the global menu, there is no way to access this menu,
  except going back to windowed mode, thus adding an extra step to
  execute an action like moving the window to another workspace.

  This is not expected as the panel is already dragable and double-
  clickable.

  WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN:

  The top panel's empty space should be right-clickable in order to be
  able to access those options as easily as in windowed mode.

  Another option, not as good as the first one, would be to add another
  drop-down menu in the global menu, that would appear only when the
  window is maximised. The advantage would be the ability to use those
  actions with the HUD; however, adding a "Window" drop-down menu would
  interfere with apps that already have one, like LibreOffice Writer,
  and would probably end up being more confusing.
