This would probably need to involve the metafiles. I am guessing if somehow there is a way of listening for changes on the users' file://.../Desktop.xml file see what the changes are and if it is newly added then set a new position for the item. Followed by sending a notification to Nautilus.

Could be a good way of learning the Nautilus API.
