Logging in as a non-root user makes the right mouse context menu
available. So I thought this is something in old config files
for root, deleted .config, .cache, .gconf*, .gnome*, .local,
.elementary, .themes (from offline), logged in again, set
org.mate.background show-desktop-icons to true, re-logged in
again, but still no icons and no context menu.

So all I can conclude now is that all these mate switches
do specifically not work with the root account.
