hi faisal,

once in a while I have the same problem, too. the problem is very
probably that you either have

a) no nautilus running or
b) more than one nautilus running (yes, have seen that as well).

in standard gnome installations, nautilus is responsible for dealing
with the desktop (background-image, links/shortcuts, icon placement,
...)

to check for a running nautilus try in a shell

----CUT----
% ps auxw | grep nautilus
----CUT----

if you dont find one running, start it manually by clicking on the
snail-shell on your panel or enter the following in a shell:

----CUT----
% nautilus
----CUT----

after you have started nautilus, you should be able to use your right
mouse-button again.

If that solved your problem, dont forget to make the changes permanent
by enabling "use nautilus to draw desktop" in edit/preferences/desktop
of any nautilus window (click on "home", and you will get one).

salam

udo
