Bug Description
I have a 4 monitor setup with Nvidia drivers, each physical screen is separate X screen (:0.0, :0.1, :0.2, :0.3)
Everything working fine except for the context menu when I right click on the background. It is displaying on the last screen in which I clicked the left mouse button in the background/desktop area.
1. Left-click on screen 1
2. Right-click on screen 1
3. Menu displays on screen 1
4. Right-click on screen 2
5. Menu displays on screen 1
6. Left-click on screen 3
7. Right-click on screen 3
8. Menu displays on screen 3
Note - I switch to 15.10 from a Fedora 20 install where this overall config was working with Xfce 4.10.3

I have an XFCE setup with three X11 displays (:0.0, :0.1, :0.2) and a desktop on each. [Not a single desktop spread across all three displays.]
When I "right click" on the desktop, the desktop menu sometimes pops up on the wrong display. Instead of popping up where I did the "right click", it seems to pop up on the screen on which I most recently did a "left-click". If I always "left-click" on the desktop a couple times before the "right-click", then the menu pops up where it should.
This problem makes xfdesktop difficult to use in a multi-display setup.
Reverting from xfdesktop 4.12 to 4.10 fixes this problem.
