** Description changed:
- Steps to reproduce:
- 1. Install GNOME FlashBack, login to it
+ [Impact]
+
+ This affects many users who try to drag launchers (*.desktop files) into
+ desktop. There is a race condition: some launchers may appear correctly,
+ but some may be treated as text files, and won't actually launch
+ anything until gnome-flashback is restarted.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ 1. Install GNOME Flashback, login to it
2. Open Applications menu
3. Drag some icon from Applications menu to the desktop
4.1. Do mouse double click on just copied icon
4.2. Make icon executable
4.3. Do mouse double click on just copied icon again
Expected results:
* user is able to run application by clicking on its desktop-file
Actual results:
* user is unable to run application by clicking on its desktop-file, the text
editor is opened instead
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ Potential regression will be limited to handling files on desktop.
+ However the fix just makes the existing code run on contents change, so
+ the potential should be minimal.
+
+ [Other Info]
