Only complaint was that they had no executable bit set. But: I accidentally didn't click anything on the message regarding the executable bit. After a while (half a minute or so) the second message like the one you got appeared. So I assume have to make those desktop files executable by chmod +x or via right click => Properties => Access Rights => check box at the bottom -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

However if you have a patch feel free to suggest it and we can maybe reopen this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
