There is no such option in GUI currently.
You can do it by modifying "customize" script in "customization-profiles/localized_cd/" subdirectory to copy shortcut into /home/ubuntu/Desktop (in KDE, I don't know what directory is appropriate for Gnome). Please note that the shortcut must be first copied to "customization-profiles/localized_cd/" before starting CD build, as only then it will be copied to chroot environment.

i had the same problem and found a solution here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization

appearently you can ćhange the script which adds the user and his desktop-directory:
sudo nano edit/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/10adduser

enjoy :)

Can you help with this problem?
