Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS
2. Login to the session
3. Open terminal and create symlink to the some application executable with
ln -s /usr/bin/xclock ~/Desktop/xclock
4. Click on just created `xclock` file symlink on the desktop
Expected results:
* user is able to run symlink'ed application from Desktop
Actual results:
* user is unable to run symlink'ed application from Desktop, the following
window is shown instead:
> Could not display "/home/user/Desktop/xclock"
> There is no application installed for shared library files. Do you want
to search for an application to open this file?
Click on Yes does not end with application launch.
Note: this is a regression, on Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS is works as expected.
