For the record.
It would still be nice to have Blackbox support showing the menu in

support navigation of the menu via the arrow keys. There seems to be a

Why not take out the menu and call it bbmenu? It could have its own
keybindings or be incorporated with bbkeys somehow. Doing this you would have
to let people decide for themself (probably in .blackboxrc) what a
right-click on the background should start.

That is in fact how oroborus (an even more minimalistic window manager than
blackbox) has always functioned. It provides no menus internally.
sawfish too, and others.
Personally, I believe a wm should be usable without 3rd party additions. Not
