I don't really think global-keymap is what you want to use. In fact, I  
don't understand why you get application-specific menus at all. It's my  
understanding that your global-keymap binding should come first before the  
application gets a chance to handle the event. (anyone?)

Perhaps root-window-keymap is what you want? Have a look here:

I'm not 100% sure, but maybe the better question is why doesn't the  
global-keymap binding always have priority?
