I had not noticed this before, but after promoting and installing ubuntu in a friend's computer, this has raised as a major issue.
This is one of those little annoyances that, while for most of us seems very low priority, it stops people from switching to ubuntu.

By the way, the issue is still the same on 10.04 and 10.10

@aviramof: How that extension could posibly help? The problem is not to
create .url files, the point is how to use the existing ones.
