[request] keyboard shortcut for root menu

[Brian J. Tarricone]

you can pop up the menu by running 'xfdesktop -menu' in the CVS version, 
which you can bind to a key using xfwm4's keybindings, or using 
xbindkeys.  if i have time, i'll port it back to the 4.0.x branch, but 
probably not anytime soon.
