I have run into this bug as well. It seems that this bug only occurs in the following scenario:

- You have "Allow Xfce to manage the desktop" turned on in "Desktop Preferences"
- You have the "Desktop Icons" option set to "None" (don't display desktop icons)
- xfdesktop was started with these settings

Interestingly, if you turn "Desktop Icons" to "None" after xfdesktop has already loaded,
right clicking will work. This suggests that some internal state necessary for the right
click menu to work is only getting set up when configured to display icons on the desktop.
