Pardon the double post but this is a separate thought:

The standard window actions menu or alt+space menu has "always" been
available and "always" will in my perfect world by alt+rightclick
_anywhere_ on a window. Anecdotally, this has been my preferred method
for accessing Always on top/Move Workspace/etc. for quite a while now to
eliminate the need to hit the smaller target of just the titlebar. I
would note that this is not a pure mouse option though. But on top of
that I support Gobal Menus and LIM moving on to accept any click. And on
top of that I still would hope never to remove a pure mouse solution. So
that brings me back to the good old window menu button again.

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
