XFCE Desktop - trash, cannot execute file, command prompt here missing.

Hi there,

I am using the xfce4 is already the newest version (4.12.5).
thunar is already the newest version (1.8.4-1).
The distribution is Linux kali 4.19.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.13-1kali1 (2019-01-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux

However, the problem is:
When I when I click on any program to execute, it will show things like;

Code:

Failed to run "<insert program name here>"

Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

2ndly, when I right click, create document here, or create folder here, nothing shows up on the desktop itself.

Any help will be appreciate.

xfce4-popup-windowlist(1)				      General Commands Manual					 xfce4-popup-windowlist(1)

NAME

       xfce4-popup-windowlist - shows the Xfce window list applet popup

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-popup-windowlist [ -pointer ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the xfce4-popup-windowlist command.

       xfce4-popup-windowlist shows the Xfce window list if at least one Xfce window list applet is present on one of your panel(s).

       The  default behaviour is to show the window list near the applet button.  If you have several Xfce window list applets, only the first one
       you have set up will pop up.

       If you want to pop up the window list without using the window list applet on your panel(s), see the manual page for xfdesktop(1).

OPTIONS

       -pointer
	      The window list appears at your current mouse position instead of its default position.
