Description Gabriel de Perthuis 2004-10-25 15:56:36 UTC 
Drag and drop from a browser (mozilla or epiphany at least) into a nautilus
window creates a desktop file.
When one tries to open it, there is a protest that it has a wrong extension and
looks like phishing.

The first point should be corrected, by making nautilus ask for actions such as
download, create a link (the desktop file), download with necessary files (for
html, but maybe this is too complicated), and possibly more.
