Me neither, I never use my desktop icons. Is there some way to disable 
that entire subsystem?

I do the same, but I had no problem doing that with Gnome 2 either.

Me too.  There is one and only one thing I miss from Windows XP and that 
is that little utility that lets you throw a window from one screen to

'close/maximize/minimize' buttons, and if you click that button, that 
whole window is moved to another monitor and resized to fit.
