Hello and Welcome

Install the Gnome Tweak Tool if not already and navigate to the desktop tab to enable the desktop icon setting. This allows the file manager to handle the desktop and should give you a working context menu. It is not necessary to check the boxes for desktop icons unless you want them to appear on the desktop.

thanks a lot for the reply.

I have the gnome tool installed and able to change the desktop wallpaper that way. on earlier versions I was able to right clik on the desktop and the menu list had "change the desktop background" option listed which is missing on 3.12 which i installed through PPA. Also the print screen button on key board is not working. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Is desktop icons enabled ? It should also enable the context/right click menu.
