What is the best way of preventing deterioration (corrosion, lens "fungus", leather mildew etc) when a camera is not in use?

My first thought was to put the camera in a plastic bag with a bag of desiccant (eg. silica gel crystals). This should take care of damp-related problems, but is it possible that too dry an atmosphere could actually be harmful to leather, as it can be to wood?

Are there better options?
