For me, yes it does.  I have eight virtual desktops with some
cluttered with windows and some not.  When I use the mouse-menu, I
look for a random free spot on my desktop and click away.

I don't think it'd help in my case because I'd always have to keep a
spot open (no window on it) for that widget.  Further, I have a
1920x1600 display.  If my widget were near 1920x1600 and my mouse
cursor was near the origin, I'd have to mouse clear to the other
side.  Too inefficient.

I wish the good developers would bring back the mouse-menu.  I was
actually hoping in KDE 4.x that we'd have mouse-menu trees (the
ability to create sub-menus) ... not get rid of the mouse-menu!  :)

Cheers,
