So if you right click on the desktop, then go to settings->desktop , you can't set the wallpaper?

Thunar should not be required to get desktop functionality -- that is provided by xfdesktop, which is pulled in by the xfce4-meta package.
With xfdesktop installed you should be able to right click and set the wallpaper.

Only if you have the "thunar" USE flag enabled. Without this USE flag, xfdesktop won't automatically install Thunar, but you still get the right-click menu and the ability to set the wallpaper.

No "pwnage" here, just usually how Gentoo works: if something seemingly unnecessary is being pulled in, probably due to a USE flag.
