The desktop background menu is being provided by nautilus, the file  
manager, and it's mostly hard-coded.  So without modifying the code,  
your options are probably limited to:

* Installing (or writing) nautilus plugins, which can add  
functionality to the right-click menu

* Using a different file manager and/or window manager that are more  
configurable, some of which you can find in various opensolaris  
package repositories.

Cheeri,
Calum.
