I must have misunderstood. When I right click on the empty desk top the 
context menu pops up at the mouse position. When I right click at any 
other item the context menu for that item pops up at the mouse position. 
  This seems to not be what you are talking about?

When I do the same with the right menu button, it still pops up the menu 
under the mouse. Has this not always happened that way?
