RE: Re: xDesk opinions?

I just started fiddling with this module, and I am not sure I like it. 
 
Does anyone else think that the popups take longer to appear? On a right
click, it takes about a second for it to appear. jDesk is immediate. I
cannot get the ondrop to work. 
 
*xDeskOnDrop .none move "$desktop$"
xDeskEnableDoubleClicks true
*xDeskOnLeftClickUp .shift !popuptheme
*xDeskOnRightClickUp .none !popup
*xDeskOnLeftDoubleClick .none $FileManager$
*xDeskOnMiddleClickUp .none !popuptasks

This is all I have for my config, am I missing something?
