The "untrusted non-executable desktop file" and "script execution prompt" are completely orthogonal (for some reason). With this patch I still get the security warning: - non-executable .desktop file on some random location: → "would you like to run or open this file?" → Run → "If you don't trust this application, click Cancel" - executable .desktop file on some random location: → "If you don't trust this application, click Cancel" - non-executable .desktop file on desktop: → "If you don't trust this application, click Cancel" - executable .desktop file on desktop → runs right away What I changed is that I no longer get the "would you like to run or open this file?" prompt for executable .desktop files on desktop:/ which breaks the workflow of many.
