ah yes... that's an old old bug that i'd forgotten about.  i think i 
know how to fix it, but i haven't tried it yet.

the answer to that is simply "because that's just how it is".  at any 
rate, when we have desktop icons, it will seem odd to have left click on 
the desktop open the apps menu.  i see no compelling reason to change 
the layout; if anyone can come up with one, feel free to holler at me.
