Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

I just upgraded to Hardy and my desktop "launcher" that used to launch
my home directory now fails. Here's the ".desktop":

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=amanda
Type=Link
Icon[en_US]=gnome-panel-launcher
Name[en_US]=amanda
URL=/home/amanda
Icon=/home/amanda/icons/little owl.ico
GenericName[en_US]=

It worked fine in Gutsy. I was able to fix it by changing the URL to 
URL=file:///home/amanda

(per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/38230)
But older desktop launchers shouldn't just breakdown in the upgrade. 

Also, *if* the "create launcher" dialog is going to let you browse to a
directory, it should prompt you to add the necessary "file://" to the
URL.
