Hi everyone,
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and I was wondering if there is a way to add the feature of selecting icons with the right mouse click. Not as it is by default, but on a windows-like matter where you can click and drag an area of the desktop with the RMB and then it shows the options menu for all those selected icons.

I know you can cntrl/shift select them but I'm so used to area selection that I thought I might ask!:P

Thanks in advance.

Just drag the area with left mouse button and then click with right button to open the menu..

Thanks for your reply, don't get me wrong, but that wasn't what I was asking for.

I obviously know I can select with the left mouse and show the menu with the right.

Once again, I was just asking, since I'm used to right mouse selecting and the menu apearing as soon as I release.

Not a big deal, but would help to get a bit more confortable.
