Changing summary to better reflect the problem - it's not the poor
user's fault.

This should be addressed in the documentation, but perhaps the
usability folks can come up with a cleaner way to do this than the
various tricks users have invented, such as creating a launcher on the
panel and then dragging it to the desktop, which is the way I do it.

I think the contents of this bug are mostly covered in bug 72715.  I'm
right there with you though -- this is the #1 most irritating thing
Nautilus does.

Comment 3 Heath Harrelson 2002-04-08 15:52:27 UTC 
Sorry for the Spam -- on further consideration, bug 72715 isn't really
related.  Reopening this bug.
Comment 4 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-04-08 17:31:23 UTC 
This is closely related and is probably dependent on bug 72715

marking fixed in cvs, at least on the desktop a launcher can be
created from the right click menu.
