My own personal Gnome wishlist would include the ability to have more

Nautilus displays a desktop icon when something is mounted or
automounted -- for me, it serves as a handy visual reminder that, "oh
yeah, I still have that CD in the drive." But I don't like the other
icons -- "Computer" I can live with, maybe even my home folder icon.
However, I also have three partitions mounted at boot on which I keep a
lot of things I want shared between operating systems. Nautilus
displays an icon for each of these partitions, which just makes my
(otherwise clean) desktop look cluttered to me. I would love for these
icons not to be displayed, but I think that currently the only way to do
that is to disable icons altogether. If I'm mistaken, I hope someone
will tell me how to do it.

Run the gconf-editor and fiddle with the settings
in /apps/nautilus/desktop and /system/storage

Hopefully you'll find some combination of settings there that suit your
desire. I think the options there have changed from version to version,
so good luck.
