The cause of the issue lies in using g_app_info_get_executable(…) in combination with g_spawn_command_line_async(…) to launch the application associated with the desktop file.
The proper way of launching the application is to invoke g_app_info_launch(…). This will require modifying the way shortcuts are stored to keep a reference to the desktop file id instead of just the executable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/913885 Title: Custom dash shortcut to desktop file drops Exec args To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/913885/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
