I use it all day long to maximize, umaximize and close windows and
sometimes for move and resize as well. It is convenient to have those
commands under that menu. It kind of does what a small keymap does in
Emacs. M-SPC (or whatever key) brings up the menu, and another key
press (x for maximize and unmaximize, c for close etc) executes the
command. Only one "top binding" is used instead of one per window
command. I do not particularly care on what key this menu is bound but
for me it is convenient that it is the same one as under w32.
