First, is nautilus/gnome/whatever the file manager/desktop manager/desktopd of the month over there still making .desktop files mode 0644 if they're coming from e.g. online sources? I seem to recall that KDE was requiring this as well, but I won't swear to it.
Second, I'm inclined to go with "leave things as they are wrt xfce's setting them to 0644, in essence requiring them to be 0755 unless they're in a predictable/correct location." In other words, let's fix the issue raised in https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11297 (if the user is intended to create a shortcut on the desktop, then mark it executable when it's created). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327791 Title: Security warning about just created Xubuntu desktop shortcut To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunar/+bug/1327791/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
