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.
Where does that icon's link point to?
Usually these things are not installed to somewhere inside the user's homespace, even if a launch file is. And those installed files are usually not owned by the user either (it's a security/safety risk).
