This will not work in Xubuntu because Nautilus is not used to manage desktop items, a program called xfdesktop is.
Which brings in an interesting point. The next version of Xfce will follow the same approach and use Thunar instead of xfdesktop, which will become a thing of the past. Thunar already offers single-click functionality. So there is hope for those who upgrade but no fix at the moment.
