What happens if ~/Desktop is a real directory, and not a symlink?  Do
things work as expected that way?  If so, please file a bug against
xfdesktop; I think I might know a workaround if that's the case.

Benny, do you know how ThunarVfsMonitor (i.e. gamin/fam) behaves when
you try to monitor a symlink to a directory?  Will it just monitor
changes to the symlink itself, or will it actually watch for changes to
the directory the symlink points to?
