Right now we have a menu in both places, if you install the X-start-menu-icons package. Why would we want to remove the functionality that allows a program list in the tray icon menu when the default behavior for that list is to be empty and to not be shown? Only people that want to use it are using it.
No reason to remove functionality, I'd forgotten X-start-menu-icons existed.
So the answer to vdu's request is -- use X-start-menu-icons and you'll have shift+click.
