To you sir I recommend the newest version of gnome. (I swear they made that out of our reasoning exactly.

I've been an Xfce4 user for a couple of years now. Sometimes I don't even start my X server, and just do things from my TTY. It's really quite satisfying.

I use xfce4, and enable the icons for minimised windows but other than that; no desktop. Of course, I use the shell for file management and the answer may have been different if it were "how much crap is in your home folder".

Well, there's a question. My home folder is the definition of clutter. Except my "Music" folder, for some reason.

My computer desktop is devoid of icons. I don't even keep the Recycle Bin on it. There's always a window or seven covering it, anyhow.
