Multiple firefox launchers on panels get mixed up

[jdo]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

With Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) I created side panels and a drawer on a side panel.
Next I installed a few application launchers for firefox to specific webpages in the panels: in the standard top panel, in the side panels, and in the drawer.

The command lines are like this:
   firefox file:///home/jdo/Documents/page1.htm
Or something like this:
   firefox -new-tab "file:///home/jdo/Documents/page2.htm"

Every time I restart, something has changed. An application starter could be emtpy, or one could be copied to the other etc.
It seems that they get mixed up in ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers
The next lines are a part of the directory listing (the top file contains the newest firefox launcher):
      %2525252525253B.desktop
      %25252525253B.desktop
      %252525253B.desktop
      %2525253B.desktop
      %25253B.desktop
      %253B.desktop
      %3B.desktop
      bash-1.desktop
      bash-2.desktop
      bash-3.desktop
      bash.desktop
      ;.desktop
      firefox-1.desktop
      firefox.desktop
      gedit-1.desktop
      gedit.desktop

kind regards

This problem is solved.
First I used the command "nice -n 0 firefox ........" to force the launcher in an other file.
Next I removed all the %2525...3B.desktop files.
And the gnome-panel was updated.

Result: the problem is gone.

jdo: that isn't a fix. It is only a way around.
I have the same problem in karmic. I wanted to add another launcher with the command: firefox "www.grooveshark.com" .
After reboot, the two firefox launchers where the same, only the command: firefox .

Sorry for my bad English XD .
