If you install gtweakui it will give options for showing different
things on the desktop, none for just the wallpaper though. If you
disable the desktop completely then you will have no icons or wallpaper.
I think if you use the gconf editor and go to 'desktop --> gnome -->
background' and disable the wallpaper there it will still show icons on
the desktop.
Personally I use GAI BGSwitcher http://www.drakos7.net/programming.php
which I think will work as a gnome applet without having to disable the
wallpaper elsewhere.
Also you might look at chbg which there is a version of in debian.
