Wondering what is the method (or the reading material) for binding the "menu" key to behave as a right mouse button click. Thanks.

I think you are looking for "xmodmap". Just search for it in the forums, there are lots of threads about it.

It's WM-dependant, I think (but probably xmodmap will help). For example, I have following in my openbox config:

<keybind key="Menu">
<action name="ShowMenu"><menu>root-menu</menu></action>
</keybind>

As all applications handle keystrokes on their own, I don't think there's a global setting for "Make Menu button work like Windows", if that's what you're after. And I don't know of any applications offhand that have a setting for it, although standard GTK2 text boxes recognize it. KDE might too, but I'm not a KDE user.
