GUI not working with VNC and Monitor not connected

It's a NUC running Jessie and x11vnc.
Booted gui mode with monitor attached.
Connected with tigervnc from my linux box.
Pulled the monitor cable.
It still works for all menus with both MC23 and MC22.
The Id uses fluxbox which is far simpler than other DM's
Perhaps there is an issue with a particular desktop?

The system I tested the issue with was running a debian default install of xfce4 from the tasksel at install. One possible differentiator: I set the geometry to be used by the desktop in my x11vnc startup service (I set it to 1920x1080), and that geometry is not necessarily the same as the monitor that I attach and detach (I have a little portable screen with an odd resolution). If I plug in the monitor and then unplug it, I have to use xrandr to restore my old resolution. That may be part of the puzzle.

And you did reboot?

No, an intel NUC will not boot without a monitor attached unless nomodeset is specified as a kernel argument and if that's set it can't run the X server.

This sounds promising, the virtual size of the monitor and physical size don't match.
We get the geometry from the xrandr extensions to be able to handle multiple monitors.
That mismatch could be screwing up the popup window code somehow.

Ok so I can reproduce this.
For me, NONE of the popup menus are working.
DSP studio, right click on files, etc...
