I wrote http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Net_wm_properties with these two
problems in mind. It doesn't work perfectly yet, but it does solve (in
my system) the problem of the window menu and some of the problems

the issues that were raised here on the list about it (url for the
thread in the patch's page).
