Thanks. Same goes for you and the work on xffm!

Haha, I'm fairly sure you must be mixing up xfdesktop and xfdeskmenu
here. I have no other way of explaining this behaviour.

I never did anything with mouse button 2 for xfdesktop, while xfdeskmenu
used that as its default button. There are two menus in xfdesktop, a
windowlist menu on mouse 3 and a regular desktop menu on mouse 1.

On the other hand the xfdeskmenu menu is usually more elaborate and is
configurable, unlike the present xfdesktop menu. Botsie is working on a
replacement menu, but as it is the xfdesktop menu is rather limited in
its functionality.

Anyway, I've no idea what's happening with your systems.
