Public bug reported:
Using the procedure here =
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-create-desktop-shortcut-launcher-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux
AND OTHERWISE
I have successfully created launchable desktop app shortcuts. But they
stop working: (1) no launch; (2) no right click context to make
launchable; and (3) no app icon. They can even remain in ~/Desktop but
disappear from the desktop view. A logout kills them. Creating another
new launcher is successful and peculiarly triggers the temporary
reactivation of all the others. But euphoria soon dies as they all
revert to inertia later.
My work around at present is to install PCManFM 1.3.1. Navigating to
~/Desktop on PCManFM, my Nautilus created launchers are all visible,
launchable and have the usual colourful app icon features. But they
remain inert in Nautilus.
My Gnome version is: 3.36.1
