Title:
  [LibreOffice] - libreoffice-writer.desktop when drag/drop to desktop,
  100% broken.

Status in Desktop panel for GNOME:
  Invalid
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Impact] 
  Attempting to drag and drop within Unity (to create a desktop shortcut) 
creates a broken link.

  [Test Case]

  1. Login to gnome fallback session
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/58172/how-to-revert-to-gnome-classic-desktop
  2. Ensure nautilus is used for managing desktop 
  
http://askubuntu.com/questions/43246/how-to-configure-gnome-3-to-show-icons-on-desktop
  2. Drag and drop libreoffice (writer) icon to desktop

  Actual Results: Broken Shortcut ( dangling symlink )
  Expected Results: Shortcut to be created

  Alternatively, 
  $ file /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop 
  /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop: symbolic link to 
`/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/xdg/writer.desktop' 

  [Regression Potential] 
   none

  [Other Info]
    patch attached to copy the .desktop file, rather than create a symlink as 
seen with other distributions.
