DE context menus

To clarify what i meant by 'not suitable', I meant that its not practical to
access folder-level and window-level functionality in the desktop context menu,
just like we don't add desktop-level functionality to the desktop's folder
context menu in thunar.

Yes the desktop is a folder technically, but when viewed on the desktop, it has
a wallpaper, arrangement of icon, particular icons that only appear on the
desktop, etc. which are not visible in thunar when you open up the desktop
folder. And as such, accessing the desktop folder's properties and opening up a
thunar window to view the desktop, when the contents of the desktop folder are
already visible on the desktop, is not necessary.

If its not agreed upon to remove the 'Open in New Window' entry, then atleast
it should be moved from its position at the top of the menu to go along with
other folder-level entries like 'Open Terminal Here' and 'Find in this folder'.
