Bug Description

When a window is not maximized, the menu that was once available from the isolated icon in the title bar (at the opposite side as the minimize/maximize/close buttons) is now available by right-clicking on the title bar itself.

This menu contains several workspace-related commands that are now available nowhere else.

The problem is that this menu is not available to any maximized window, when the title-bar disappears and the application menu is held by the top-screen bar.

Right-clicking on any blank space in this menu bar does not bring out anything, so that the original menu containing workspace-related commands is not available.

This way, it's not possible, for example to move a maximized window to another workspace.

There are some bugs related to this one: Bug #668196, Bug #656519 and its "duplicates". It looks that it's suggested to remove right-click menu from title of non-maximized window in Bug #656519. The only way how to access the menu should Alt+Space shortcut according bug description. This shortcut already works even for maximized windows.
