I want my desktop to be clean. That means no icons. Recently I have been trying various window managers, and finally I settled down to i3 for the past few weeks. I love it.
Today, I just wanted to log into Unity just for change, and found things have changed since I last logged into it. That's strange since I never did this and nobody is using my PC. I was seeing desktop icons!
