If you're open minded to better ideas, you can try tiling window
managers like wmii and Ion which make the "desktop metaphor"
obsolete.  I've personally been using wmii for the last two/three
years and I love it.  The entire source code is less than 10
thousand lines of code... so it is blazing fast and will run on the
weakest of computers!

I recommend grabbing either the latest snapshot or checking out
directly from the Mercurial source repository (it is very stable)
because the wmii-3.1 discussed in some of the above articles has
been deprecated long ago.

Cheers.
