Xfce iconifies to either the taskbar or the icon box.  You could run Rox
pinboard in addition to Xfce (instead of Xfdesktop) and get icons on the
desktop.  However, the icons don't remember their postions.

Do you mean a right click pop-up menu?  Yes.  You can also launch apps
from the panel.  (If you use rox-pinboard you would lose the pop-up menu
- but there are alternative root menus you could use to replace it.)
