They're planning to kill off the bit in Nautilus which can draw the
background and put that functionality in a new process/module. So
Nautilus won't do it anymore, but some other process would. No clue if
that includes the desktop icons… this splitting off was meant to help
Unity as they seem to depend on this functionality.
It seems Unity is planning to not rely on this functionality from
Nautilus, so the thought was that maybe it can just be killed. I can ask
to still do the work because some people make use of this in GNOME 3.
In any case, the splitting off is not a priority at the moment as it
would just move code around while potentially introducing bugs. Benefit
is easing Nautilus maintenance.
