Patch to set the execute bit in xdg-desktop-icon

Hi

For security reasons, modern desktops ignore .desktop files in ~/Desktop that
don't have the execute bit clear. These files give an error when
double-clicked, and don't show the correct icon.

Thus to properly install a .desktop file to ~/Desktop, xdg-desktop-icon needs
to set the execute bit. The attached patch does that.

Thank you
Damjan
