[Impact] 
Attempting to drag and drop within Unity (to create a desktop shortcut) creates a broken link.

[Test Case]

1. Login to gnome fallback session
http://askubuntu.com/questions/58172/how-to-revert-to-gnome-classic-desktop
2. Ensure nautilus is used for managing desktop 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/43246/how-to-configure-gnome-3-to-show-icons-on-desktop
2. Drag and drop libreoffice (writer) icon to desktop

Actual Results: Broken Shortcut ( dangling symlink )
Expected Results: Shortcut to be created

Alternatively, 
$ file /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop 
/usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop: symbolic link to `/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/xdg/writer.desktop' 

[Regression Potential] 
 none

[Other Info]
  patch attached to copy the .desktop file, rather than create a symlink as seen with other distributions.
