Oh no, messed up my comment. Here's the working version. Workaround for basic users:
In a terminal, type: sudo chmod +x /usr/share/applications/* ln -s /usr/share/applications ~/Applications Then one can go to his home folder, than "Applications", then drag ones favourite application icons to the desktop. When done, one can delete "Applications". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241972 Title: Drag and drop from Dash to Desktop doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/+bug/1241972/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
