[Bug 496441] [NEW] KDE cannot change icon in .desktop file created by Gnome

[Ramon Casha]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

I have a number of .desktop files created under Gnome. I tried to change
its icon but it failed with the message: "Could not save properties. You
do not have sufficient access to write to /home/rac/xxx.desktop"

I created a .desktop file via KDE and I could change the icon correctly.

I then examined the differences between the files and discovered that
the above error is created when the desktop file contains a line like
the following:

Icon[en_US]=gnome-panel-clock

The KDE-created desktop file only contains an "Icon=xxx" line, but no
"Icon[en_US]=xxx". Removing this line makes the desktop file editable
again.
