> Description:
> On Solus Budgie, and verified by someone else on KDE Neon,
> (https://discuss.getsol.us/d/779-libreoffice-borked) normally created
> .desktop files for LO belong to root as opposed to the user. This means they

> not expected behavior and since it's both distro and DE agnostic seems to

Why? It's easy to copy a desktop file and change its proprietary if you want
add an icon on your desktop.
> 
> Steps to Reproduce:
> 1.Open a Linux distro with a DE that suports desktop icons.
> 2.Open the menu or a file explorer
> 3.Drag the LO icon, or the Writer/calc/Draw etc icon to desktop

Which LO icon? Where do you take it from?

Did you try to do the same thing with the desktop file of another application
installed system-wide ?

Set status to NEEDINFO, please set it back to unconfirmed once requested
information have been provided.
