Make something in the ~/Desktop folder. For example, drop in a picture file.

Or if you really want a shortcut. Create a 'shortcut' (Desktop) file.
$ cat ~/Desktop/Menu\ Editor.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=Menu Editor
Comment=Graphical tool for editing the Xfce 4 menu
Categories=Application;
Exec=xfce4-menueditor
Icon=xfce4-menueditor
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false

Of course, I've no idea if you'll get icons on your dishwasher
version. I'm in the same boat as you, my desktop never sees the light
(except when using composite with all transparent windows, in which
case my desktop is a GL Screensaver), so I never have icons! So much
so, I don't even have wallpaper!
