The actual URL is x-nautilus-desktop://, but usage is discouraged. You can just set the gconf show_desktop flag to false and open the desktop (defaults to ~/Desktop) in its own browser or spatial window. To put icons where you want arbitrarily, right click->Arrange by->Manually. Mounted volumes already show up in computer:///, so there's no real reason to duplicate that in the browser/spatial window (and frankly IMO it's kind of silly on the regular desktop, but I guess most distros ship that way by default). No real hacking necessary. -A.
