I'm not sure why you think the 'Preview Desktop' check is a useless option. It's there to disable the Desktop Peek for the people who do not like it.

+1 for the Raise Gadgets option.

Also, for your image, you might want to consider a single red line going through the Preview Desktop option instead of the huge cross. I initially thought that you cancelled the original image as a result of you changing your mind.

Oh I get what you're saying now. You want to completely remove that menu and raise the gadgets when you right click on the button.

Hmm... not sure about that. How do you establish the connection between that button and the gadgets? I mean how does the user discover this functionality? Right-clicking a button to execute an action is not a standard Windows function.
