Window Managers E17 is maturing, and the TODO that needs to be completed for its release is shrinking. Desktop icons are now working in E17 cvs, and you can use drag and drop between the file manager and the desktop. "Icons on the desktop. A work in progress. you will need ~/Desktop to exist with stuff in it. i suggest copying some of the favorites files over (home.desktop etc.)." There's even a screenshot.

There are actually several window managers that do not have desktop icons. Fluxbox, OpenBox, DWM...

I currently use DWM and for "minimalist" users, this is just perfect.
