To remove individual icons, they are located in /home/dsl/.xtdesktop/.  Each icon has a .lnk (as in link) and an image file. You can't backup a negative number of files, though, so if you want them to stay gone on a frugal/liveCD system you'll need to add some script to /opt/bootlocal.sh. Example:
rm -f /home/dsl/.xtdesktop/{Emelfm,Siag}.{lnk,gif,png}

To remove all icons, remove "enhance" from /home/dsl/.xinitrc.  This will also stop the dockapps from loading, but they can be manually added to .xinitrc (look at /usr/bin/enhance for specific commands).
You could also use the "noicons" boot option, which is the same as removing enhance from .xinitrc.

Thanks mikshaw. Thanks you guys, i learned a lot about linux through DSL, i only realized other distros are too bloated. DSL is rather straightforward :-) :D
