Sorry, not sure what you mean.  The desktop space *is*
$HOME/Desktop/.  If you drop a file from thunar on the desktop,
that's where it goes.

I ask again: do you have file/launcher icons enabled in the desktop
settings?

(Also potentially of use: how did you install Xfce?  Distro packages?
If so, which distro?  If not, where did you get it?  Was xfdesktop
compiled with support for desktop file icons?  Etc...)
