In 11.10 Using Configuration editor, one used to be able to edit a boolean parameter named : Desktop_Show
This allowed to hide/show all desktop icons.
This latter was removed in 12.04.
Config Editor in 12.04

Someone, knows how to hide desktop icons automatically?

It's in gsettings (& dconf-editor), to do from cli use

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false

From gui open dconf-editor (install dconf-tools) as in screen
