can't say I like the idea much of either suggestion - the window-swapping
of the right MouseButton is too usefull to giveup IMHO, and same for the 
left-mousebutton windowlist. 

How about, if you MUST have a click-with-no-move "new" functionality (which 
I think is horrible UI design and would disable at the first chance I have),
why not make the the left menu start with teh pointer already on "new", but
keep the menu's functionality as a window-list intact also?

Hell, actually, I'd even say abolish the "new" from the left-mouse totally,
and hardcode it as thre first item of the middle-mouse menu, (which is then
still chosen on-click-without-move), with other items on the middle-mouse
being dynamic according to $HOME/.wmx/ same as now... that then puts all of
wmx's own ability to open a program in one spot :)
