In GNOME (3.x) you can also enable this behaviour using the
Accessibility infrastructure. Just open the a11y dialog (or use the
panel button) to enable "Simulate Secondary Click".

It shouldn't be too hard to get this technology working inside Sugar; I
do not know how this is implemented though.

I haven't looked at the patch itself, it seems to be a good way to do
some interaction testing.
