This item was removed several versions ago by the primary developer
(John Harper). I suspect you'll have a hard time convincing him to add
it back in, but you might be able to look through the archives to get
some idea of his rationale. I'm pretty sure it's been discussed since
moving over to the new server.

Why not just bind "Popup window menu" to some keybinding in the window
keymap? I use "W-Button2-Off" myself. ("W" being the key(s) used for
default WM shortcuts, which on my system is Hyper).
