I think I understand now part of what you're trying to say. Here is a simpler
example:
1. In winecfg, uncheck "Allow the window manager to control the windows" (or
apply the patch I suggested)
2. Run the game Helicopter Escape (download from
http://www.free-windows-games.com/helicopterescape.exe)
3. Tap the Alt key, then press the down arrow key.

This opens the system menu and is exactly the same behavior as Windows--just
tapping Alt doesn't open the menu.

If the Wine system menu is too confusing on managed windows, then it should be
removed from managed windows entirely and not even shown when the user clicks
File and presses the left arrow key. Just blocking SC_KEYMENU is not the right
solution because this breaks Notepad++.
