[Bug 506176] Re: ubiquity desktop shortcut permissions wrong

[Stéphane Graber]

I just had a quick look at the various specs and the behaviour of
gnome/kde.

In fact, a .desktop file should appear as a text file unless it's
executable, so the current behaviour is correct, it's lxde's behaviour
that's wrong apparently.

Title:
  ubiquity desktop shortcut permissions wrong

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: casper

  Under the lxde system environment (based on ubuntu, livecd), the
  ubiquity desktop shortcut produced by the casper scripts has the wrong
  permissions.

  It has executions rights, but in fact, it shout NOT have them. You can
  only execute the shortcut if it has only rw permissions, not rwx.

  If it were to keep its original permissions (like the original file
  usr/share/applications/ubiquity-gtkgui.desktop), it would work.

  This could be a very lxde specific thing, but at least a workaround
  would be nice.
