These two entries are suitable for a right-click context menu when in thunar, but not suitable for the desktop.
Created attachment 9593 DE context menus To clarify what i meant by 'not suitable', I meant that its not practical to access folder-level and window-level functionality in the desktop context menu, just like we don't add desktop-level functionality to the desktop's folder context menu in thunar. Yes the desktop is a folder technically, but when viewed on the desktop, it has a wallpaper, arrangement of icon, particular icons that only appear on the desktop, etc. which are not visible in thunar when you open up the desktop folder. And as such, accessing the desktop folder's properties and opening up a thunar window to view the desktop, when the contents of the desktop folder are already visible on the desktop, is not necessary. If its not agreed upon to remove the 'Open in New Window' entry, then atleast it should be moved from its position at the top of the menu to go along with other folder-level entries like 'Open Terminal Here' and 'Find in this folder'.
Created attachment 9597 Reposition "Open in New Window" context menu entry I agree that the "Open in New Window" entry could be moved down. However, I am not sure if the "Properties" one should be hidden or not.
When ever i want to change the background settings i always click on "Properties" on the first try because i associate it with this function. Maybe i do it this way because "Properties" is the last entry. I never needed the "Properties" on the desktop doe.
