Ok, I guess. :) I'm assuming when you say "Application Menu: you're not referring to Kicker, and are referring to the menu that you can bind to a right-click on the desktop, right? So you want this as an option to be a sub-menu of the normal desktop context menu, instead of always eating the right-click?

If your mouse have more than 3 buttons then you can assign Application menu to one of them. I have it on Back mouse button.
