Just upgraded to F41 from F40.
When I try to change properties of a desktop icon (be it VM-manager,
Thunderbird, Chrome or any other) the system would not let me to save the
changes. because:
Could not save properties due to insufficient write access to:
‘/home/fbures/Desktop/virt-manager.desktop’.
And indeed the above location is a link to
/usr/share/applications/virt-manager.desktop
Everything in that directory is owned by root:root
This has been touched on a few times in previous threads, it's always a
good idea to check the archives. (Although the hyperkitty search and
browsing seems a little broken currently?!)
This article covers .desktop files fairly comprehensively:

Thanks, but this is not what I had in mind.
I was talking about right-clicking an icon on the desktop, clicking
Properties and then trying to save the change by clicking OK.
That's when the error message is generated.
I believe this should work right-off-the-box, otherwise I do not understand
why the Properties item is even in the menu.
Cheers
Frank
