Guys, decided to write a python3 script which will open a gtk3+ window from which desktop icons can be added and removed by simply clicking the switch.
There are quite a few icons in the desktop tab this could save some space.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
#xfce4-desktop icons switch, Misko
from gi.repository import Gtk
import os
import sys
from subprocess import Popen
from gi.repository.GdkPixbuf import Pixbuf

#Temporary window icon don't forget to change!
icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/Thunar/Thunar-about-logo.png"


class XfDesktopIconsWindow(Gtk.Window):

    def __init__(self):
        Gtk.Window.__init__(self, title="Xfce Desktop Icons")

        self.set_default_size(-1, 200)
        self.set_border_width(10)

        self.grid = Gtk.Grid()
        self.add(self.grid)


        self.create_label()
        self.create_buttons()
   

       
    def create_label(self):
        label = Gtk.Label()
        label.set_markup("To show and hide desktop icons use the switch on the right")
        label.set_line_wrap(True)
        label.set_size_request(200, -1)


        table = Gtk.Table(1, 1, False)
        table.set_border_width(10)
        table.attach(label, 0, 1, 0, 1, Gtk.AttachOptions.SHRINK | Gtk.AttachOptions.FILL)
        self.grid.attach(table, 1, 0, 2, 1)

window.connect("delete-event", Gtk.main_quit)
window.set_resizable(False)
window.set_position(Gtk.WindowPosition.CENTER)
window.set_icon(Pixbuf.new_from_file("{0}".format(icon)))
window.set_name('DesktopIcons')
window.show_all()
Gtk.main()

Also added and option to show/hide removable drives.
Might need some work but this is working fine so far.

What do you think guys?
