[Bug 89209] nautilus modifies .desktop files when viewing properties

[Christof Krüger]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Create a .desktop file with the contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Ubuntu
Type=Link
URL=http://www.ubuntu.com

Now start nautilus, right-click the file, select properties. Click on
the "Link" tab. At this instant the files has been modified without
actually changing the fields. The contents are now:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Ubuntu
Type=Link
URL=http://www.ubuntu.com
GenericName[en_US]=

A file manager should *never* change a file without user consent.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
