For the menu on the desktop it's DE specific, by default not all WMs
provide this short cut (maybe all DEs do), but as soon as focus is on an
app, it will work, if the app supports it.

E.g. a default openbox, doesn't provide it. Evolution does provide it,
even if you run a default openbox. Claws doesn't support it, but
Sylpheed does support it.

With a key for the mouse button you'll be on the safe side, the menu
key seems not to be a good replacement.
