--- Comment #5 from Nate Graham <[email protected]> ---
Thanks, now I can reproduce it. I suspect all of us had poor reading
comprehension here and were putting the trash on the actual desktop, and not in
a Folder View Widget with the location set to *anything other than Desktop*, as
you wrote.

It makes sense why this happens now: .desktop is a special suffix that lets the
system know that something is kind of a virtual item, with properties
determined by the contents of the file.

The suffix is hidden on the actual desktop, or when using the desktop:/
location. In any other location, it will be shown.

If you remove the suffix, you can break the item. That's what happened here.

I'd recommend not renaming .desktop files.
