I don't know, if you know this: You can change that with gconf-editor.
Goto /apps/nautilus/preferences, there you should see the option "show
desktop", disable it, and nautilus globally will not (re)draw your
desktop.

BTW, I have replaced nautilus with rox, but what I really miss, is a
commander like file manager, that fits into modern desktops like XFce or
Gnome.
