i tried to create again in control panel an "icon" for ~/documents/ then same problem. here is the contents of the created .desktop file : [Desktop Entry] GenericName=dossier Icon=folder-green Name=Documents Type=Link URL=file:///home/roubach/Documents
when clicking on the icon then plsama tries to execute "Documents"
If you right-click on the icon then there is an option to open the folder "Documents" with Dophin. It works well ! So there is only a problem using left click.
