Well, now that I've done this and used my setup for a little while,
there is a new problem that I need to solve:

Unsetting the show_desktop property indeed got rid of the "Trash"
and "user's Home" icons.  But now, there are no desktop menus at
all.  Apparently, each and every bit of desktop functionality was
disabled in order to make those two icons to disappear.

Is there anything else I can do which will give me a reasonably
normal desktop (at least with the usual desktop menus), but without
any icons on the desktop?  Or am I stuck with those "Trash" and
"user's Home" icons if I want to have a functional desktop in gnome
2.2?
