I tried dragging "Home Folder" from the Places menu in the panel and
it looked as if it were going to make a copy of my home folder - at
which point I canceled.  I don't have enough disk space to try that ;)

If you create a launcher - or if the above drag-and-drop procedure
does create a launcher - you can just delete it.

I disable all of my Desktop icons and use the Places menu in
conjunction with the Places sidebar in nautilus, but to each their
own...
