xfdeskmenu is deprecated, and is no longer expected to be in the
production version of XFce4. It seems to be affected with a bad case of
bit rot too. For that matter xfbd4 is also deprecated. xfdesktop is the
replacement for both of these apps.

Of course, that said, I have to admit that I am not using xfdesktop. I
can't operate without minimised program icons. I dislike taskbars, so I
am stuck with ROX-Filer for now.
