Alas, my desktop is deliberately boring. A simple B&W SVG image of my company logo on a plain black background. No icons on the desktop at all. A dark theme throughout. 3 Gnome panels - top has App/Places/Sys as per Ubuntu's default; system monitor applet; notification area (I removed the Ubuntuified "me menu", etc; time/date; and logout button. Bottom panel has "show desktop"; window list; CPU frequency scaling applet; temperature applet; workspace switcher; force-quit& trash. Right panel has various launchers for apps I use regularly. Clean. Effective. Boring. :D
Sounds similar to my desktop, I've got the standard Ubuntu background at the moment, can't be fussed about changing it at the moment as it's not very often I look at my desktop.
I've got my mostly used apps on the task bar at the top with quicklaunch icons and and a CPU frequency app which I tend to set to 1GHz (don't need any more 99% of the time).
One of these days I might push the boat out and change the desktop wallpaper :-)
