+or

+When this option is used,

+listens to button presses on the root window,
+and shows the pie menu when the given button is pressed,
+together with the given modifier,
+on the root window.
+For example, invoking
+.B xmenu
+with the option
+.B -x Super-3
+makes a menu open when clicking with the third mouse button on the root window,
+or when clicking with the third mouse button together with the Super (Mod4) modifier on any window.
