Objectserver has nothing to do with this.

The thing that runs the icons on the desktop is "fm"; you can start
one up by hand with "fm -b" if you don't currently have any icons on
your desktop.

I don't know of any way to get the SGI icons to notice the right mouse
button - they ignore it under the default window manager (4Dwm) as well.
Any particular reason you need to use the right mouse button on these
icons?
