No, I just mean provide a way that you can bind mouse clicks in the
desktop window to actions, such as opening up a menu.

Using the default keybindings that came with Ubuntu, Up and Down are
bound to __A_RAISE and __A_LOWER respectively.  I don't have
enlightenment running at the moment, but I believe those functions
change the stacking order of windows rather than changing desktops.
I did not see a way, by looking at the source, to go down a desktop,
which in my case would be going from say desktop 2 to desktop 7 or 4 to
9.
