Making drives NOT show up on the desktop
Yes -open a terminal and type
go apps->nautilus->desktop and uncheck "volumes_visible"
----------------
And I have done just about all of the tweaks here

It's for Gutsy but they work fine on ultimate edition 2.0 which is the same as ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex.
---------------------
Making the menu faster. In the home folder open a terminal and use
Code:
sudo gedit .gtkrc-2.0
add the line
gtk-menu-popup-delay = 40
lower number = faster menu
save and close. Restart (reboot) to apply

Loading menu icons faster
The key is to get the icons cached in memory at startup.
Change the 'Human' to whatever theme you're using.
Nope, that latter code is shell code that must be executed by a shell interpreter such as 'sh'. The .gtkrc-file is parsed by gtk in a special way, and shell commands cannot be used in there.
What you can do is create a script for this:
Code:
echo "find /usr/share/pixmaps/ | xargs cat > /dev/null" >> ~/mystart
echo "find /usr/share/icons/Human/ | xargs cat > /dev/null" >> ~/mystart
chmod +x ~/mystart
Then add it as startup to gnome (System -> Settings -> Sessions -> Add, and write "~/mystart")
