https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=238503 ------- Comment #6 from sbrabec@novell.com 2007-01-25 02:30 MST ------- I guess that this behavior was not intended. At least while saving the file, user should have information, that this file is a special file, not image. If you rename upper mentioned file to "apple.jpg ", you can easily confuse not only beginner. If we fix shared-mime-info, the file only *.desktop files will behave in this way.
