Click the Location tab and specify your empty folder (no icons will be on the desktop)

If you're asking about toggling showing the desktop icons on or off I'm not sure how that could be done

The most powerful shortcuts will be created using the terminal, I tried

ln -s /home/neon/Desktop/index.jpg /home/neon/Pictures/

where the first address is the location and file you want to copy and the second address is where you want to copy it to

I'm not able to reproduce it, if I minimize firefox it saves the window size, and same thing if I close it.

Hope this helps
