    All I'm doing is right clicking on a desktop icon with the mouse,
    where the icon is a soft link, that was create by the install of a
    package from it repository (Google Chrome), selected properties and
    tried to check the "Launch Feedback" option, and the click "OK", and
    it displays a message that the action failed on the file in
    ~/Desktop, which is wrong as I own them all.
