I just stumbled on this bug. Bug #1292168 from me is related but not
duplicate. I felt that I needed to pull over my related comments from
there:

["lower" functionality] always *should* have been a part of the standard
window menu so let's go ahead and have it in there. Secondly, if right
click [the title bar] does not expose this menu because of LIM/Indicator
consistency, then let's just go ahead and bring back the window menu as
a standard part of every window decoration. I'm thinking it will
replace/obsolete the always visible minimize/maximize buttons and will
integrate seamlessly with LIM such that opening the window menu and then
mousing right will move right on to "File, Edit, View, etc."

This would add a further layer of consistency for windows that do not
support resizing or maximizing. As is, the dedicated maximize button on
them can be taken away leading to slight inconsistency in window
decoration, but with a window menu instead it will always be there and
will simply have the options inside greyed if the window does not
support them.

Bug description:
  The benefit of being able to access the Alt+Space window accessibility
  menu via right clicking on a window title bar is outweighed by the
  cost of added complexity.  This menu should remain accessible via
  Alt+Space for both restored and maximised windows, but should not be
  accessible via right click.

  Desired change:
  - remove the right click menu from window title bars
