If "Icons on Desktop" is disabled, programs can still create files

Bug description:
I have found that annoyingly programs create icons on the desktop, but
because the setting "Icons on Desktop" is off, I have to then turn it
on so that I am able to view the desktop icons and remove it, and the
only reason I know that anything is there is because of the fact that
when I upload a file somewhere, the default location to look in is the
Desktop so I see what is there. But otherwise in Nautilus I don't
even get a link to the Desktop.
So I think that it would be good if programs weren't allowed to create
files on the desktop if you have the option "Icons on Desktop"
enabled, or at least for the user to be prompted if they want the icon
to be created there and for the option to be disabled. As the way it
currently works could be exploited by attackers, because they can
store files there, and it is unlikely that anyone will ever realise
that they are there because it is very hard to view the desktop.
