[Bug 1812880] Re: Executables on desktop won't launch on double-click

2019-08-26 Thread Greg
But this is a serious problem, and this bug report has status "Won't
Fix"

I think it's common practice to put application shortcuts on the desktop.
It used to work fine in previous Ubuntu releases.

I have a bunch of applications that I use frequently.
It's very convenient to have their shortcuts on the desktop.

How can a serious problem like this be ignored?
