Can't execute shell scripts with spaces in their names from desktop

[Jonathan Kamens]

Create a shell script with a space in its name in /tmp. Make sure the script is executable. Mv it into ~/Desktop. (You have to do it this way rather than creating it directly on the desktop because of the other bug I just filed.) Try to double-click on it. You will get an error notification instead of the script executing. Shell scripts added to the desktop in this way without spaces in their names do not have this problem.

The desktop is not handled by nautilus anymore, reassigning

Upstream 'fixed it' by removing support to excute anything else than .desktop files, see their comment on https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/ShellExtensions/desktop-icons/issues/73

If you believe scripts are important to work on desktop best to open a bug directly upstream on https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/ShellExtensions/desktop-icons/issues
