Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Dragging the icon in the Location bar of a page in Epiphany to a folder/desktop in Nautilus used to make a launcher to that web-page.
This was useful functionality, if you ever needed to save the page, there was always File->Save As, or right-click->Save As, now there appears to be no simple way of creating a web launcher.
I haven't changed my Epiphany package in a while (I need to recompile on amd64 each time), so I'm guessing this may actually be a nautilus bug.

I can reproduce this with epiphany 2.14.1-0ubuntu2 and nautilus 2.14.1-0ubuntu5.
Dragging the location bar icon to the desk and holding alt before releasing the button and chosing "create link" gives an error from nautilus:
Error: "Action not supported" when creating a link with <url> (Translated from german locale so not 100% exact)
Dragging an icon from firefox works however.
