Perfect! The 'edge flip mode - only when moving window' combined with the 'wrap
desktops around' workaround provides access to the menus at screen edges.

The idea is to be able to switch the windows and access the menus directly with
the mouse. The left click is associated with the open window list, the right
click with the application menu. Now these essentials are accessible from
pretty much anywhere on the screen at a mouse click. This seems an ultimate
solution, removing the need for any external panel.

I would love to be able to do that :)

I second that. Thanks to Kim we have the access to the best WM there is. E16 is
the best example of a practical implementation of the 'do the one thing and do
it well' philosophy' in the software domain I am aware of.
