Title:
  Custom dash shortcut to desktop file drops Exec args

Status in Unity:
  Won't Fix
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  * unity with custom dash patch (unity 4.28.0-0ubuntu1~ppa1) is installed
  * I have custom dash with two simple shortcuts consisting only of "source" 
items: one to libreoffice-writer.desktop, and one to libreoffice-calc.desktop

  Both shortcuts display in dash as expected (the writer icon and calc
  icons display).

  But, clicking on either does not launch the specific libreoffice app.
  Instead, libreoffice *generic* launcher displays and I need then to
  pick writer or calc (or draw, etc).

  I guess the command line argument from the desktop file is dropped.

  I also have a dash shortcut to firefox.desktop, whose Exec line also
  takes an arg. I modified the desktop file arg to hard code a path to a
  local html file, and on launching FF from the launcher, the local html
  displays, but when launching from dash, it does not.
