Howto: Gnome: Desktop : Remove icons from the desktop
“
You can’t just right-click and delete the icons on the Gnome desktop in Debian and Debian based distros.
To do this,
Press ALT+F2 and run the gconf-editor
Then navigate Apps/Nautilus/Desktop
Now just uncheck the items that you don’t want to appear on the desktop.
Simple as that, and instant.
