Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Moz should create a bookmark to the target of a (in my case, Gnome) desktop
bookmark, itself created by Moz, dragged into the bookmark manager. As things
stand, the bookmark created is to the local desktop bookmark file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. drag a bookmark to the desktop from a browser window
2. drag that bookmark into a folder in the bookmark manager




Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
behaves correctly.

Bug is still present, as follows:

1. Dragging a URL from the Location bar to the Desktop produces a _text_ file with the URL as contents, not a desktop shortcut.

2. Dragging that desktop to the Bookmark Manager produces a file:/// URL to the text file.

So where is the bug? If at (1) above, maybe in whichever component applies to the drag-from-Location-bar operation?

WFM here, dragging bookmark to desktop and then back produce correct new bookmark
