Check that the executable bit is set on those files.

It's strange, spectacle had no executable permission, and when I looked
at the properties it says no one can execute it.  The problem icons all
had executable permissions, and the properties were anybody can
execute.  I removed the executable permissions, but no difference.
When I have a chance, I'll try restarting X to see if it picks up the
new properties of these icons, and they then have the same behavior as
spectacle.  I think you are onto something, since the executable
permissions were such a match for behavior, if in a negative manner.
Thanks.

When I double-click a .desktop file in Nautilus, Gnome pops up a dialog box saying that the file is not trusted and do I want to trust it and execute it. After agreeing, the proper icon shows up instead of the basic file icon. I don't know where it stores the information, but it must save the path somewhere, because if you replace the file with something else, the new file is still trusted.
