NFS mounts don't show up on desktop

I had a weird probem. When I mounted the following URL:

nfs://192.168.0.2/home/samba
it did not appear on the desktop. A quick look with the terminal, in the /Volumes/ directory showed that, indeed, it had mounted, in a directory named 192.168.0.2/.

The quick fix was to run this command.
ln -s /Volumes/192.168.0.2 ~/disk
Any additional information about why this command was required is appreciated. Thanks.
