[Bug 1200277] Re: [LibreOffice] - libreoffice-writer.desktop when drag/drop to desktop, 100% broken.

[Björn Michaelsen]

Assuming XFCE and Gnome classic to work the same here, this works as
expected on Ubuntu 13.10/XFCE. Thus closing as fixed released as it is
fixed in the latest Ubuntu release. This might be included in an update
for Ubuntu 12.04 (or another series), if you desire so, please target
the bug appropriately. Note though, this alone does not appear to
justify to roll our a LTS update of LibreOffice, so it would need to
wait until there is a serious issue that it can piggyback upon.

** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu)

Title:
  [LibreOffice] - libreoffice-writer.desktop when drag/drop to desktop,
  100% broken.

Status in Desktop panel for GNOME:
  Invalid
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [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.
