Speaking strictly from a user's point of view: it just makes no sense, to issue a warning and require the granting of executability rights, for the innocent act of launching an application by clicking a desktop shortcut. No sense at all....
This is needlessly confusing for beginners and very user-unfriendly. As far as I know, Xfce is the only desktop environment that does this. It's no show-stopper bug of course, but it displeases some new Xfce users to the point that they stop seeing Xfce as a good alternative for other desktops. Please remove this nasty "paper cut" from Xfce.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327791 Title: Security warning about just created Xubuntu desktop shortcut To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunar/+bug/1327791/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
