Title:
  can't move link type .desktop files around on desktop

Status in Nautilus:
  Fix Released
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If I have a .desktop file with Type=Link on my desktop and try to move
  it around it doesn't stay where I drop it but goes back where it was
  before and tries to download the URL it is referring to instead.

  Save the following as e.g. test.desktop in your ~/Desktop folder and
  try to move it around on the desktop:

  [Desktop Entry]
  Version=1.0
  Type=Link
  Name=test
  URL=https://launchpad.net/index.html

  This affects at least 13.10 and 14.04.

   In 13.10 Nautilus crashes if the URL as a file:// URL referring to a
  file on your desktop.
