Although I imagine people are going to keep hitting this problem if they copy files from FAT mounts etc.

Some days ago I've added two .txt files on the desktop folder. Theses two files don't open when I double click, select and press Enter, or right click and select "open". To open them from the desktop, I have to right click, select "open with another application", then it opens a window and I select my program. After doing it two times and execute ubuntu-bug, select "open with..." don't open anymore the window but opens directly the file with the program I've selected before (it acts like "open"). To pinpoint the problem, I've copied two new .txt files, one with nautilus and one with right click on the desktop. Theses new files open normally, with double click or select and Enter. So the two other files are kind of locked... I am not sure if the problem comes from xdg-desktop-portal package, but I could not find a "better" package...
