Sorry, but I don't understand your wish completely!
First at all, why do you want to limit user's ability to access window menu?

Second, it is unclear, whether you targeting "window menu" indeed, or
there just conflict between wanted-by-you keybinding and default WM's
keybinding.

In first case (targeting window menu especially), I would to recommend
think twice before frustrating user.

In second, just reconsider your keybindings, which would be far better.

But again and anyway, I can be absolutelly wrong because don't
understand your reasons and needs...
