Look at the error message xfce-mcs-manager outputs while trying to
load the backdrop plugin (btw. does the plugin exists? Look in
$prefix/lib/xfce4/mcs-plugins for backdrop_settings.*).

Post this error message to the list, and we'll try to help you :)

Settings, that are under control of the MCS manager are stored in
~/.xfce4/settings/. Verify that this directory exists and is writeable.
If it is, look at the output of xfce-mcs-manager. If no useful
output is generated try to compile it using --enable-debug.
