Acer Aspire One: enable the xfce4 'right click menu'

To enable the right click menu so common and loved by we users of Xfce (the window manager that ships with the Acer Aspire One) perform the following:


Select the 'My Files' icon in the Files menu box:










Select 'File'













In the pull down menu select Terminal and in the terminal window type xfce-setting-show to bring up the settings window













Select Desktop in the Xfce Setting Manager













Select the Behavior tab and check the box labeled Show desktop menu on right click













And there you have it! No need to reboot, just enjoy the Xfce menu when right clicking on the desk top.
