Public bug reported:
Using a text editor, create a file on your Desktop that you intend to be
a shell script. When you save it initially, it won't be executable
(unless your text editor is too smart for its own good), so it will be
displayed on the desktop as a text file.
Now do "chmod +x" on the file in a terminal window.
It's still displayed on the desktop as a text file, and you still can't
execute it.
Now mv it out of your desktop and into /tmp, and then mv it back onto
your desktop. Now the icon is displayed as a shell script and can be
double-clicked.
The icon for a file on the desktop should turn from text file to
executable script as soon as the file itself turns from text file to
executable script.
