Bug#648509: gnome: unable to rename desktop shortcut

Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.30+7
Severity: normal

I ran a Java webstart app that created a shortcut in my Desktop directory
called

jws_app_shortcut_1321101478035.desktop

I tried to rename it on the desktop, and every time I tried it reverted to the
original name. No error message, nothing. I tried in the rename menu, in
properties, all with the same useless result.

jws_app_shortcut_1321101478035.desktop

I'm now using the shell to rename it, which works fine.
