If you take a lot of screenshots you know how fast your desktop gets littered with them. 

A more elegant solution is to create (for example) a "Screenshots" directory in your "Documents" directory, and then set that to the new default screenshot save location with a defaults write command:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Documents/Screenshots

Forgot to mention that the directory MUST exist of course. So create a directory if need be.
