I found this while doing a search of the interwebs, on the changelog for nautilus:
nautilus (1:3.1.3-0ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low * debian/patches/12_remove_create_launcher_on_desktop.patch: - remove the "create launcher" entry from desktop right-click. It's depending on a gnome-panel binary, confusing the user when unity is running and default upstream sessions don't have even nautilus drawing the icons on the desktop. Do the same for other places as well.
