This followup is to keep others informed. The maintainer justified this, after I contacted him pointing me here: http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2012-June/013233.html in his own words: Basically KDE counts .desktop files without +x in the user's own desktop as dangerous and warns about this. If a user drags an icon from system wide menu to the desktop it gets copied with same permissions(no +x). KDE people seem to think this is useful to protect from downloaded files. Maintainer is ok to modify the port back to installing without +x if that's the consensus. I also have no problem modifying it if having .desktop files with +x is a problem. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable about KDE than me could also comment on this. -- Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org>
