Your Desktop _is_ the filebrowser :)

Precisely the desktop is managed by nautilus. 
It's nautilus job to show all the file- folder- and whatever-icons you can see 
on the desktop and to perform all actions you choose. So activating a icon, 
opening a desktop folder or a document on the desktop (for all objects) or 
deleting an object / moving an object to ~/.Trash is done by nautilus.

You will see this if you open a gnome-terminal and start a

 pkill naitilus

or 

 killall nautilus

The icons on the desktop will disapear for a short moment until nautilus gets  
restarted.
