Title:
  [Maverick] Inconsistent permissions for .desktop files

Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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
  Then change the symbol of the launcher.
  Doesn't matter if from /usr/share/icons or from ~/.icons.
  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 and changing the symbol shouldn't add an executive bit automatically if it isn't necessary and as long as a user doesn't actively choose so.
