Xfwm: How do I "click title-bar to lower window"?

Let's say I have several windows on a single workspace, and they are all maximized, one on top of another in a stack.
I would like to click the title-bar of the top-most window so that it is lowered to the bottom of the stack, revealing the next top-most, allowing me to cycle through all the windows.

Any help?

By default, middle-click (scroll button click or L+R click) will lower the window to the bottom of the stack.

Thanks, it works!

Do you know which text file I can edit to control/remove some title-bar functions?
Would it be .desktop or .xml?

Which functions? The things you can tweak will be found in the "Window Manager" and "Window Manager Tweaks" settings dialogs.

I was looking for a text file with "hidden" settings.
Right clicking the title bar shows a large list of options, only a couple of which I use.
I'd like to remove some options, then add some of my own. Also, I'd like to put more buttons, with custom window-actions, on the title bar.
Since xfconf stores all its data in XML files, I thought title bar settings would be there. (I don't want to install "xfce4-settings".)
But then there's .desktop files, which I am unfamiliar with.

Do you know which text file controls the title bar?

Sorry, those options are hard coded.
