How to get rid of the 'Wastebasket' and other icons on the GNOME2 desktop?

Hi,

I had no success using Google.

Where are the settings to get rid of 'Computer', 'User's home' and
especially the 'Wastebasket' on the GNOME /Desktop?

I never use the 'Wastebasket' and I don't like other icons either on
the /Desptop.

Regards,

Ralf
