I hate how my Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop gets cluttered with icons from various files and folders included the system generated icons. I rather use the terminal/shell to look up or open up files and folders. If you are using Gnome GUI on Ubuntu 9.04, then you’re in luck of getting to know how to hide the icons on your Desktop.
You need to run a gconf-editor. To do this you need to type Alt + F2 keys, and then type in gconf-editor. Go to apps, nautilus, preferences, and then look for “show desktop” option to your right. By unchecking the option “show desktop” you’re officially hiding the icons from your Desktop.
