This has been fixed upstream in Debian and is fixed in 14.04
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=664182 so I will mark
it as fixed release (technically, 12.04 is still supported, but I doubt
this merits a SRU).
** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #664182
Bug still affects Ubuntu 12.04 as well. I've posted in the link below a
slightly updated desktop file:
