Bug Description

Hi,

here is a dell optiplex 3240.

And a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Double click on an icon does not open the file.
Right click on an icon → open → does not work either.

But… right click → open with another application → works.

Tested on Xorg and Wayland, same behaviour.

I don't have this problem on another machine with more or less the same installation, but made months before.

And I don't have this problem during live-session ( try without install ) on that Optiplex3240 machine.

Purging wslu restores expected behaviour for desktop icons.

It's not gnome-ubuntu specific, as the problem also occurs in Kubuntu

But how / why wslu gets installed at first ?
