This Applescript I threw together will toggle desktop icons. For best results launch from the Applescript menu. If you don't have it enabled you shuld save this script "As Application", then doubleclick it.
be aware that if you recompile this script while it has stored desktop icon positions it will forget all those positions.
Click here to launch Script Editor.

-- run this script once to clear the desktop
-- run it again to replace all the icons in their ooriginal positions
property everyItem : missing value
set screenWidth to word 3 of (do shell script "defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver | sed '/ Width/q' | tail -1") as integer
set screenHeight to word 3 of (do shell script "defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver | sed '/ Height/q' | tail -1") as integer
tell application "Finder"
if everyItem is missing value then
set everyItem to {name, desktop position} of every item of the desktop
set everyFile to item 1 of everyItem
repeat with loopVar from 1 to count of everyFile
set thisIcon to item loopVar of everyFile
set desktop position of item thisIcon to {screenWidth, screenHeight + 10}
end repeat
else
set everyFile to item 1 of everyItem
set everyPosition to item 2 of everyItem
repeat with loopVar from 1 to count of everyFile
set thisIcon to item loopVar of everyFile
set desktop position of item thisIcon to (get item loopVar of everyPosition)
end repeat
set everyItem to missing value
end if
end tell
beep
