neither of these things have anything to do with xfdesktop.

the window list is what you get when you middle-click on the desktop.

then it sounds menu-related.  i'll give it a look when i get home, as i
haven't run xfdesktop through valgrind in a while.  there hasn't been much
that's changed with the menu for quite a while, so it's not immediately
apparent to me what could be wrong.
