Turning of nautilus and other things that are not required but are enabled by default on the desktop. You may wish to remove the fancy background and keep a simple color (black ?). Also take a light theme (I'm using Industrial for the controls, and OutlineWinter for the Window Borders which made a real difference compared to Bluecurve). It would be interesting if you could keep a list of things that worked for you, put them on a website and publish it here. So people can use your work to build on and inform you of new techniques. Also adding a list of similar pages with the same goals would be interesting. Let me know what you find and if you decide to publish something based on your findings !
