Description Karel Demeyer 2006-06-03 10:01:16 UTC 
When I add launchers to my gnome menu, using the Alacarte menu-editor for example, I can't drag these launchers to my desktop.  I can drag 'm to the panel and then drag this icon to the desktop again and remove it from the panel and the launcher works as expected.  
Other launchers, added by software packages as root can be dragged to the desktop instead. Which is what one might expect.

Duplicate of bug 332284/bug 126035?
Comment 2 Karel Demeyer 2006-06-03 17:18:12 UTC 
Without taking a look at the code I doubt this.  I think it's more something like, the source for the location or the .desktop file, set when the dragging is done is hard-coded the place where system-wide .desktop files are installed (upon package installation), while the .desktop files I added myself with Alacarte are somewhgere in my home directory.  Just a guess.

This should fix it. Please reopen if it happens with gnome-panel >= 2.15.92

	* menu.c: (drag_data_get_menu_cb): pass a real uri and not a path as
	drag data
	Should fix bug #343756
