I and others like myself we're curious about the advanced tab in the desktop preferences in Raspian, which only includes the option to "show menus provided by the window manager (OpenBox) when desktop is clicked/right clicked". This option changes the window for right clicking on the desktop to options for opening browser, terminal, change workspace, change Openbox theme, and Shutdown/log off. It was very annoying that I couldn't figure out how you get back into the desktop preferences to undo this mistake, luckily I found a couple easy fixes posted here

The easiest fix that worked for me was posted by jkibbe, whom I quote: launch a terminal and enter pcmanfm --desktop-pref. When the desktop preferences window pops up, click on the "Advanced" tab and deselect "Show menus provided by window managers when desktop is clicked." That's it!
FIX: Checked show menus provided by window manager when desktop is (right) clicked

Good job.
I had the same problem last night while I was playing around with some of the options.
Glad you posted it here.
