If you do that you'll also disable right-clicking on the desktop. As others have said, you can selectively remove the default icons, in apps/nautilus/icon_view. (And my other question, about what's in ~/Desktop, was irrelevant; that only affects things other than the default icons. Sorry for the misdirection.)
