DesktopSweeper is a freeware APE Module (the equivalent of Unsanity's Haxies) that provides a hotkey to control whether or not Desktop icons are displayed.
In depth
A closer look at DesktopSweeper
DesktopSweeper doesn't work by covering the Desktop so your desktop background is not affected at all, even if you use an application that displays animated or screensaver'ed backgrounds.
Also, if you log out or quit the Finder while icons are hidden, the next time you'll log-in (or launch the Finder) the icons will be displayed where you expect them.
