OK, i built that.  For some reason i thought that xfdeskmenu was the
menubar thingy.  Anyway, i started it, and when i middle click on the
desktop, i see a slew of these errors:

(xfdeskmenu:22647): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL)
pointer to `GtkObject' (xfdeskmenu:22647): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file
gtksignal.c: line 140 (gtk_signal_connect_full): assertion `GTK_IS_OBJECT
( object)' failed (xfdeskmenu:22647): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid
cast from (NULL)  pointer to `GtkWidget' (xfdeskmenu:22647):

(xfdeskmenu:22647): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkmenu.c: line 643
(gtk_menu_popup): assertion `GTK_IS_MENU (menu)' failed

and then nothing happens.  This is from the CVS checkout i did this
morning.
