Personally, I would vote for having the option of binding a menu to
the left button.  I tend not to iconify apps to icons (on OSes/DEs
that support it)--that's why I have multiple workspaces--so I don't
need the left button for dealing with icons on the root window.  My
Windows machine (on the rare occasions that I use it) has about five
icons on it.  It would suit my work habits better to have a
user-configurable menu there so I could leave the right button for
the all-encompassing appfinder menu (or the one generated by mmaker).
