The white desktop icon is really poor. It's completely unpolished. It's uncolored, in fact, it's completely white and the sheet of paper is clearly pasted from another icon. It's pasted too low in the icon and colides with the bottom border which adds to the unprofessional look of it. The default Tangerine icon for the desktop is far better. Maybe you can make a little screenshot of ubuntu and put it in a flat-panel display icon with some 3D perspective. Or maybe you can just go for the standard Tangerine icon.
