I have had this issue in Jaunty:
Desktop background OK.
Showing icons and right-click on desktop menu FAILED.

Duplication:

I'm not sure how this happened - I installed quite a few things (in a hurry) 
and only later did I notice I had no desktop right-click menu nor icons.
However, I would find it more likely that using desktop-switcher was what 
caused this as it also completely messed the content of my panels (as well as 
*permanently* removing the bottom panel).


Workarounds:

Using tweakui as mentioned in #5 on 2008-05-12 by AlexE worked. But after 
session restart, the problem came back.
Deleting the ~/.compiz and ~/.gconf/compiz directories (instead of the, in my 
system, non-existing ~/.metacity) as mentioned in #19 on  2008-06-22 by 
kulturschock2000, and *then* using AlexE's trick seems to have solved the 
problem definitely.
