IOW, do Alt + F2 and type gconf-editor (you can access it from the System
Tools menu but that is usually diabled by default. Use the menu editor to
enable it for future use.) Then navigate to:
apps -> nautilus -> desktop
And uncheck the volumes_visible option. There are options to remove other
icons like the trash, home, etc., icons. Good luck.
