Kind of like kommando on KDE (which btw doesn't need compiz or xgl.) I have kommando mapped to ctrl + menu; it pops up a menu wherever the cursor is. It'll take you perhaps a week of use to tweak the apps and submenus in the way you use it most efficiently, but in the end it's way more efficient than using kmenu.
I think by "Compiz or XGL" people simply mean compositing manager... like when you say "Linux", or "PC" (windows). Yeah, I know, not very good examples.
I agree that rotation is not a good thing here. But it does have an advantage over traditional menus--it's less obtrusive and "sexier" when used properly; for example, when a user right-clicks in a program like GIMP, Miro, or even Firefox, but not Gedit, Calculator, nor gconf-editor.

Nonesense. When you have total control, there's no such thing as too much. Dial-up what you want, and there you have it.

They could use a shim like Nvidia and have DKMS handle all the compatibility issues.Also lots of companies have open sourced their drivers.

It still runs faster.XFWM4 actually has compositing support, funny that you mention it...
