You know, I'm continually amazed by the amount of icons on peoples desktops - I have only 6, and I hardly ever use those.
In Windows, they're all taken care of by the quick launch bar and auto-hide toolbars at the sides of the screen, and in Linux they're taken care of by docked panels and launchers in GNOME.
But if all your icons are on the desktop don't you have to minimise all your other windows first? Or use the start menu (most of you won't have this configured either) - I like being able to access any program on my machine with (at most) two clicks and three seconds of time.
Besides, your wallpaper is there to look pretty, and having icons all over it usually spoils it IMO...
And some of you SO need to figure out how to get rid of those fugly shortcut arrows...
