This sounds like a nice proposal. The question is where to put the icon.

regs,
 Chris
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2004-02-09 19:49:51 UTC 
.icons maybe?
Comment 3 Reinout van Schouwen 2005-08-15 22:22:10 UTC 
Maybe nautilus could cooperate with epiphany's favicon cache? It's under
.gnome2/epiphany/favicon_cache/ .
Comment 4 Christian Neumair 2005-08-15 22:32:22 UTC 
Reinout: Thanks for pointing this out!

For such an integration, we'd have to add a new dnd target which ensures that
the .ico file is saved and we get its filename. Christian, do you think this can
still be done for GNOME 2.12?

Starting with version 3.28, nautilus will not handle the "files on desktop background" feature. For better alternatives, read this blog post https://csorianognome.wordpress.com/2017/12/21/nautilus-desktop-plans/
