As long as we are talking about icons on the desktop (instead of, for example, menu items on the toolbar) I believe you can do it in kde (as in kde4 on Wheezy). I don't do it, but I just did a quick experiment--I put an icon on one desktop, I might have selected some sort of option (what can I say, I'm getting old and I have a headache--my short term memory is sometimes very bad) and it now appears on only one of my 8 desktops. If you are seriously interested in trying kde, let me know, and I'll experiment a little more and give you more detailed instructions.
