Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Create a .desktop file with the contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Ubuntu
Type=Link
URL=http://
Now start nautilus, right-click the file, select properties. Click on the "Link" tab. At this instant the files has been modified without actually changing the fields. The contents are now:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Ubuntu
Type=Link
URL=http://
GenericName[en_US]=
A file manager should *never* change a file without user consent.

That's a minor detail, desktop are special files and the nautilus doesn't change the user configuration
