unable to create a working browser shortcut to gnome-panel

[yop]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

If I drag a link from Firefox's address bar down to the gnome-panel to create a shortcut/link to the website, it will fail, it will only create a broken launcher without icon or content.

If clicked on, I only get this.
"Could not launch application"
"Not a launchable item"

In dapper it worked, In edgy it worked except that if you moved the launcher it would break become useless broken, In feisty it's totally broken.

Linux ubuntu 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux.
Ubuntu 7.04.
Clean install of Ubuntu.

Thank you for your bug. That works fine on my feisty desktop not confirming

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you get the bug on a launchpad URL?

Open FX then drag the address bar *icon* down to one of the gnome-panels to
make a link.

Close this bug please.

I found that it was a typo in the gtkrc theme file.

Nope it was not it.

Try this, drag an url that have a long address like gmail inbox, or do a
search and then drag it to the panel.
this fail:
