I tried to assign    xterm -e 'xfdesktop -menu'   to Alt+F2 shortcut, and it worked as it should: it opened a terminal window for a short while, then poped desktop menu and closed terminal window.  Then I got the idea, that probably it's in the window, that terminal opens before the menu shows up.  I tried to make a script called xfmenu, which called 'xmessage Hello &' and then immediately 'xfdesktop -menu' and all worked like it should, xmessage showed it's window, then desktop menu poped up.

yep, i've already tried all this.  unfortunately, it still doesn't give 
me much of an idea of what's wrong.  actually, it makes me think that 
there's something odd with how xfwm4 is starting apps run from keybinds, 
but i haven't gotten around to looking into it, as i don't use this 
feature, so fixing it is pretty low-prio for me.
