How could be speedy access not be empowering? But I'm soory, I don't understand 
the point about "corners of the root window". Root window is antother term for 
what is called desktop sometimes, isn' it? I meant special menus provided by 
blender and located at any of the 4 corners of the blender window, so that the 
target areas would reach to the screen corners in case of fullscreen mode. So 
just some speed lost with not-maximized blender. 

But forget about _special_ menus accesible at the corners (just a quick idea, 
better left to window-managers).

However, if there are target areas (menus/icons) near to any edge or corner of the 
blender window, those areas should reach to the edges / corners of the screen, 
if the blender window is maximized. Giving extra fast accessibility in fullscreen 
mode, while not making any difference when not.
