Public bug reported:
To reproduce:
* create a desktop launcher called test with command /bin/true
* right click on the launcher and choose "properties"
* select the "launcher" tab
After about a second the properties window should then disappear.
The launcher still works, and a workaround is to edit
~/Desktop/test.desktop directly using any text editor.
More details (from my shell):
