Okay, that's basically the same as Kay's suggestion that uses
gconf-editor for that.

Since I've modfied the window_manager setting, I now have in my
script:

  # Disable Nautilus desktop if we're not using the Gnome WM.
  if [[ `gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-session/rh/window_manager` =~ "/XStart/" ]]
  then
      gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop false
  fi

( ~/XStart/ is the directory that contains all my special WM files )

Thanks for all the good suggestions.
