With GMC and E you could do exactly what the original poster wants. There are more apps that draw icons on the desktop, dfm comes to mind which also does not touch the background. I'd assume that the only valid technical reason why nautilus always has to grab desktop background image management is that earlier versions (1.x) had their own built-in anti-aliasing. Something which is clearly obsolete now. Thanks, Johannes -- ~/.signature under construction
