Hello Anne
No, that is not my thread.  BUT, running "chmod 744 *.desktop" resulted in the 
"feature" that I started this thread about being immediately disabled :)  Like I 
think I said in my initial message on this, it's not that I think that this is a 
bad idea, but I just didn't happen to like it.

I figured that this might be something really simple, but I figured the more 
places that this new feature gets referred to on the internet the better.  
Somebody might find the answer to this here, but for some reason might not be 
able to find it on the KDE forum.

Thank you for having Google skills that clearly surpass my own...
