Alexandre, thanks for the additional information. In GNOME Shell this is known not to be a problem, as Jeremy pointed out in his comment #11 above. GNOME Shell uses a different window manager (Mutter) which can draw the background itself and which apparently allows desktop windows to be transparent. The problem for Ubuntu is that Unity runs in a different window manager (Compiz) which will probably need some changes for Nautilus desktop icons to work; see my comments #12-#20 above for details.

This version of Nautilus doesn't draw the desktop background - actually that capability was removed in 3.7.91. So the desktop background appears plain white on my system.
