Bug Description
* Impact
links can't be moved on the desktop
* Test case
Save the following as e.g. test.desktop in your ~/Desktop folder and try to move it around on the desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Link
Name=test
URL=https:/
* Regression potential
Dnd should keep working
------------------
If I have a .desktop file with Type=Link on my desktop and try to move it around it doesn't stay where I drop it but goes back where it was before and tries to download the URL it is referring to instead.
Save the following as e.g. test.desktop in your ~/Desktop folder and try to move it around on the desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Link
Name=test
URL=https:/
This affects at least 13.10 and 14.04.
In 13.10 Nautilus crashes if the URL as a file:// URL referring to a file on your desktop.
