You need to have ‘gconf-editor’ … If you do not have then install it using :
yum install gconf-editor
Then open the ‘gconf-editor’ from Applications -> System Tools -> Configuration Editor (or just run from terminal using ‘gconf-editor’ command) and then navigate to /apps/nautilus/desktop.
Now you can uncheck the default items you don’t
want visible on your desktop.
