Dears,
thank you both for all your time invested and great insights.
After your last e-mails I had tried in vain to upgrade to the new "gnome
icon" stuff which are "proposed". Funny enough when today I was just
about to give up, I did run a final command "sudo apt-get clean && sudo
apt-get update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo
apt-get autoremove" only to find to my surprise there was a mentioning
of a new version "19.01.3-1~ubuntu19.04.1" for
"gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons". And... surprise, surprise: with
that new version I can now run again the .desktop files (- while I
haven't tried all but I am pretty confident they do) under Ubuntu 19.04.
- Happy End!
Still quite worrisome, that I seem to be a single person in the Ubuntu
universe who did complain about falling into this "upgrade trap". And
only weeks later and with your help I am now slowly getting out there.
I am gonna have a well-deserved father's-day

thank you!
Cheers,
Thomas

Ah, I think I understand now, Nautilus changed so that .desktop
files no longer were runnable, but the shell extension reverts this,
Yes, basically.
except it doesn't due to a bug.
It does for me, and apparently for others too. Are you experiencing the
same problem as Thomas?
I believe so. I have just found the solution however. Right click
the file on the Desktop and select Allow Launching.
