Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
Steps to reproduce. Right click on panel -> add to panel -> add a starter 'as copy from the applications menu'. e.g. Firefox, Gedit Afterwards you'll find .desktop file in ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers with permission 755. While all other .desktop files in ~/.config/autostart or ~/.local/share/applications are 644. If you change the .desktop file in ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers to 644, e.g. by removing the executive bit, applications still run as usual. Expected: Adding a launcher to panel shouldn't add an executive bit automatically if it isn't necessary and as long as a user doesn't actively choose so.
