Orca Right clicking on blank parts of the desktop?

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a desktop icon.  From what I
understand, the way to do 
so is to right click on a blank part of the desktop;
However, the problem 
I'm experiencing is that focus always seems to land on an
icon; therefore, I 
wind up  with the context menu for that particular icon as
opposed to the 
general menu that would allow me to create a new item.  Is
there currently a 
workaround to this issue?  If not, I wonder whether any
workaround should be 
a function of the screen reader, or of the desktop itself?


Thanks,

--Al
