Some issues with a new laptop

I've just put Arch on a Thinkpad T43. I'm having a couple of Xorg related problems. First, I occasionally get a small horizontal bar under my mouse. I presume this has to do with my xorg.conf, so I'll post it below. The second thing is that I'm trying out gnome, and I can't figure out how to get rid of the three icons that are automatically placed on the desktop (computer, home and trash).

xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Xorg Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

Re: Some issues with a new laptop

For the icons, you can run gconf-editor, browse your way to nautilus options and uncheck them.
