Unlike 4.4x, the right-click context menus for task list items and the right-click context menus for Xfwm window borders look completely dissimilar. Their layout and functionality differ, despite both being meant to serve the same purpose.

Yes, we switched to libwnck in xfce 4.6. Still the window manager offers different options to manipulate the windows (it's its role) so I don't see any bug here.
Comment 2 Nick Schermer editbugs 2008-10-28 20:57:03 CET 
Will be fixed in the near future, since I find this annoying too.
Comment 3 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2008-10-28 21:48:44 CET 
Well I have no plan to change xfwm4 menu to mimic libwnck, what is your plan then?

PAtch to rework xfwm4 window menu

This patch changes both the phrasing and the order of the xfwm4 menu entries.

This will break all current translations, but if we want this in 4.6, we need to commit it ASAP before beta2.

This makes the window menu a bit less "geeky" IMHO (which is a good thing, of course).

Anyway, committed in xfwm4.
