Re: [orca-list] Right-Clicking On Nautilus Desktop With No Selected Items

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

To bring up the menu for the desktop, you should be able to press 
Ctrl+Alt+D to clear the desktop and give focus to the desktop.  If an 
icon is selected on the desktop, you can press Ctrl+Space to deselect it 
-- you might need to press it twice for some reason.  At that point, you 
can press Shift+F10 to bring up the menu for the desktop.

You might also find the GNOME Desktop Accessibility GUIDE useful:

Hope this helps,

Will
