Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

I installed Jaunty from the Alpha5 liveCD.

An issue with .desktop files has sprung out on nautilus 1:2.25.92-0ubuntu1. If the second line of the .desktop file is a comment, the file is not recognized as a launcher but as a script, complete with text thumbnail icon and Run-or-Display dialogue on double-click.

This happens for instance with the Kdenlive launcher, which starts:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
# KDE Config File
[Desktop Entry]
...

If I empty or entirely remove the second line, the launcher is recognized again. This did not happen with nautilus 1:2.25.91-0ubuntu1.
