The solution to the problem was provided by an old Vitex programmer.

If you want to put Icons on the desktop you need to write an assembly language
routine and call it using DeskHook (a low level call)

I don't have an assembler so I 
1) Made a plain window 
2) Filled it with the current pattern on the screen
3) Plotted the Icons in the window 
4) Then treated the window as part of the desktop in my interface
   but picked of double clicks using GetDBLtime, and PtinRect etc.
