Do you just mean stopping Nautilus from drawing the desktop display?  Or
just stop it drawing some things onto the desktop.

You can run gconf-editor  
Navigate into its /apps/nautilus/desktop
Turn off some "visible" options.

Navigate into its /apps/nautilus/desktop
Turn off a "show desktop" option (for a more extreme option).

That'll give you a blank desktop, though Nautilus is still available as
a file browser application.

If you mean changing window managers, that's another thing.  Someone
else might be able to advise on that.  If you still want to run Gnome,
but differently.
