Works fine here. Please rebuild libxfce4util, libxfcegui4, libthunar-vfs, and xfdesktop with debugging symbols and get a gdb backtrace. See: http://spuriousinterrupt.org/projects/xfce4-debug
Reporter: are you still experiencing this bug?
I confirm bug. Desktop crash on right click when compiz is running
It seems problem is gone when on Behaviour tab Show desktop menu on right click is selected
I don't have compiz installed. If you'd like to see this fixed, please get a gdb backtrace of the crash using the instructions in comment #1
I have experienced this problem as well; here is the requested backtrace from gdb: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Not really - you need to compile everything with debugging symbols. At any rate, there's no such function as 'common_desktop_menu()' in xfdesktop. You're using Ubuntu; they patch Xfce heavily -- I can't be responsible for their patches. You'll have to use Ubuntu's bug tracker. Please reference this bug so it doesn't just get pushed back here.
