Most installations, RMB on desktop produces a context menu for the desktop itself. In my TDE installations on Mageia, RMB on desktop produces no response. Is this expected? Is there some configuration option where it can be enabled? I don't see anything obvious to do so in KControl's mouse tab.
No, this is not to be expected. Have you checked that your mouse generates RMB events?
My mice are connected to a multitude of multiboot PCs. RMBs work as expected on KDE3, Plasma & IceWM, and in TDE in openSUSE, Debian, Fedora and others. Thus I haven't "checked" in Mageia. Today's observations were on host ab85m, with Mageia 8 (TDE), Fedora 32 & 33 (KDE/Plasma), openSUSE TW (TDE) & 15.2 (IceWM), Debian 11 TDE, Tubuntu 20.04 (TDE) and Mint 19.3 (Xfce).
