Description Minh Ngo 2013-08-25 20:14:46 UTC

According to the previous fix [1] icon widget must be disable when we have not any permission to change a file.

In the user case of the current ticket a default URL for desktop files is from the system path where user usually hasn't permission to write [2]. And current logic makes user uncomfortable to do a case.

Please check and fix it if it's possible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Dolphin
2. Click right mouse button. -> Create New -> Link to Application
Actual Results:  
An icon widget is invisible. So user must create a desktop file then go to its properties (call this window again) to change an icon.

Expected Results:  
Visible and enable icon widget when creating a desktop file.
