[SOLVED] Make *.desktop files executable

Hi,

after a fresh install i restore my *.desktop files to ~/Desktop. When i start a start i have to make it executable. This has nothing to do with "chmod +x file.desktop". I looks like this is a "xfce thing". Can i make all desktop icon make executable or restore an other file with a "list of executable desktop icons"?

Thanks. I saved the script for the next fresh install.
