Hello Sam: I remembered seeing something similar to your issue in the gnome-shell-list. I think the following links might be helpful to you.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680730 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2012-July/msg00143.html In the bug report the following appears to be a workaround that you could use. Comment 13 Colin Walters [developer] 2012-11-29 04:27:47 UTC let byteData = imports.byteArray.fromString(data, "UTF-8"); GLib.file_set_contents('gedit.desktop', byteData, byteData.length); I hope this info is of use.
