Public bug reported:
Nautilus allows to rename any generic file, including the extension
part. For example, I can rename "Image.jpeg" to "Image.jpg" or even
"Image.png" which is not right, but still possible.
Dekstop files are different. If I try to rename firefox.desktop to
firefox.txt in order to edit this file manually, I can't do so, because
nautilus always add desktop extension. If I accidentially rename regular
file to a desktop file, I can't rename it back, because Nautilus throw
an error, that this desktop file has a wrong format (obviously because
it is not a desktop file).
