If you still want to have the performance that IceWM gives you, but add
desktop icons and backgrounds too, give ROX-filer a try. Performance
with IceWM+ROX is much better than nautilus, and I've had fewer problems
with ROX. Nautilus will crash or hang from time to time.

I couldn't install rox using yum or apt (don't think it's included in
the repositories), so I downloaded a FC4 RPM file and installed it
manually with rpm -ivh.
Install rox, then add this line to /etc/X11/gdm/Session/IceWM:
rox --pinboard=roxpin &
I went so far as to add an ICEWM_USE_ROX option in /etc/sysconfig/icewm
and another if statement to use it in the gdm session script.
