lost the desktop wallpaper & kde menu

[joe_schmoe]

Some extra info ... This is from .config/xfce4/mcs_settings:

<mcs-option>
         <option name="brightness_0_0" type="int" value="0"/>
         <option name="color" type="color" value="           13056, 
       26112,           39168,               0"/>
         <option name="color1_0_0" type="color" value="           28416, 
            7936,           23296,           65535"/>
         <option name="color2_0_0" type="color" value="           26880, 
           34048,           46848,           65535"/>
         <option name="colorstyle_0_0" type="int" value="1"/>
         <option name="imagepath_0_0" type="string" 
value="/home/joe/MEDIA/soul-kiss.jpg"/>
         <option name="imagestyle_0_0" type="int" value="3"/>
         <option name="path" type="string" 
value="/home/joe/MEDIA/soul-kiss.jpg"/>
         <option name="showdm" type="int" value="1"/>
         <option name="showdmi" type="int" value="1"/>
         <option name="showimage" type="int" value="1"/>
         <option name="showimage_0_0" type="int" value="1"/>
         <option name="showwl" type="int" value="1"/>
         <option name="showwli" type="int" value="1"/>
         <option name="style" type="int" value="1"/>
</mcs-option>

This would seem to suggest that the linkage is correct, but as I wrote 
to Stefan, when I attempt alt+F2 and enter xfdesktop and click "run" I 
get a segmentation fault. I'm pretty clueless about a work around. Also, 
trawling through the xfce forum (http://forum.xfce.org) isn't proving to 
be very helpful either.

So, if any kind soul out there wants to lend a hand, there are two issues:
1. How do I get my desktop back?
2. How do I get the right click menu back?

Many thanks
