Things look a little different when using gnome fallback session:

1. For applications that have shortcuts in /usr/share/applications drag'n'dropping creates a *copy* of the launcher on the desktop. The copy has a default access rights of 755 which allow execution. 
2. For libreoffice-startcenter.desktop a symbolic link is created on the desktop instead (probably because /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-startcenter.desktop is a symbolic link itself). 

So as a workaround the user may either: 
1. sudo chmod +x /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-startcenter.desktop, or 
2. cp /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-startcenter.desktop ~/Desktop

A proper solution could consist of substituting the
/usr/share/applications/libreoffice-startcenter.desktop symlink with a
copy (similarly like it already happens for the individual libreoffice
apps - writer, calc etc.).
