Public bug reported:
I told VirtualBox to create a desktop icon for one of my virtual
machines. It worked just fine in cosmic.
After upgrading to disco, however, instead of showing up as an icon, it
shows up as a ".desktop" text file, and double-clicking it just opens
the text file in gedit.
I tried deleting and recreating the icon in VirtualBox, and that didn't
help.
