I recently noticed this problem on fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install with openjdk-6
I did some source lookup and it seeems that javaws uses xdg-desktop-icon util for shortcut creation. I believe this problem is caused by bug in this util. I reported it as #664099 -- javaws always use Desktop directory for shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
