The reasons for using a symlink are outlined in my post to the XFCE forum at
http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=9672, but basically a symlink is the
easiest method, and it should work. (As I mentioned in the post, I have tried
changing the XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR value as a workaround, but this exposes another
minor bug in which Thunar fails to assign the correct icon to the folder.
Changing the XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR value, however, shouldn't be necessary.)
