*sigh* Apparently the maintainer of the extension has decided that for "security reasons" you have to right-click on ".desktop" files and enable them before they will be displayed as app icons and executable. So I guess this isn't a bug. Just an IMO poor design decision.

TL;DR Not considered a bug by the maintainer, don't reopen bug.
