Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
I can reproduce this issue, but I think that is potentially a security
feature of the gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons. As if you navigate
to the folder in Nautilus, then select open, it allows for running the
game and not opening gedit. And I can see that the permissions of the
file has been set correctly by Steam.
Therefore I am going to reassign this bug from the Steam package to
gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons as it doesn't appear that Steam is
doing anything incorrectly and it is likely due to the desktop icons
implementation (potentially even a security feature).
** Package changed: steam (Ubuntu) => gnome-shell-extension-desktop-
icons (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed

Title:
steam installs generic Desktop icons for games that require an
explicit 'Allow Launching'
Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The 1.0.0.61-2ubuntu3 steam package installs a steam which creates
generic icons on the Desktop for games. These Desktop game icons open
in gedit rather than launching when double clicked. One has to
explicitly right-click on the icon and select 'Allow Launching' for
the Desktop icons that steam creates upon game installation to become
usable for launching.
