Creating a weblink on desktop?

Am I missing something, or is there no obvious way to drag a url onto the desktop, or to simply make a link?

Not directly. You can create a bookmark (ALT +B), open your bookmarks folder (ALT+M), sort by modified date to find the new bookmark quicker, and drag and drop it on the Desktop. With WebPositive, of course.
Not totally straight forward, but I rarely want Bookmarks on the Desktop. More often, I wanna manage the Bookmarks folder / bar.

Just use Bookmarker from the fatelk repo Http://fatelk.com

Feature Request: Add a bookmark icon to the right end of the toolbar, just like the tracker does with the current folder, so users can drag and drop the bookmark wherever they want.
