Nautilus Desktop Icons and Openbox right-click menu possible?

Hello,

I installed Openbox and now start it via the Gnome/Openbox Entry in GDM.
What I especially like about Openbox is the right-click Menu.

But I can only see this menu if I disable "show-desktop" for Nautilus in gconf-manager in Gnome.
If I leave the setting on, I get the (useless) Nautilus right-click Menu instead of the Openbox one.

But I like Removable Drives and such to pop up on my Desktop.
Is there a way to have both things running alongside? (Maybe just removing the Nautilus right-click menu somehow?)

Thanks.

Instead of using Nautilus, you can use another program to control your desktop icons. I think I hear people mention idesk a lot on these forums?

Thanks, but I thought idesk is only suitable for program starters and the like?

I have it mapped on different mousebutton

<!-- Menus -->
      <mousebind button="Middle" action="Press">
        <action name="ShowMenu">
          <!-- <menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu> -->

something like that in rc.xml... guess you could put it in some keycombo also.
