But this is a serious problem, and that bug report has status "Won't Fix" I think it's common practice to put application shortcuts on the desktop. It used to work fine in previous releases. I have a bunch of applications that I use frequently. It's very convenient to have their shortcuts on the desktop. How can a serious problem like this be ignored? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1841355 Title: Place Applications and Shortcuts on the desktop Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since updating Ubuntu to latest version, I can no longer place Applications and App Shortcuts on the desktop to run them by double- clicking!!
