[libreoffice-users] LO 5.3 glitches

Minor ones, the download and install were fine and that fixed my lack
of spell-checking that I was complaining of here a while back.

I'm using Linux Mint 18. The new icons for version 5.3 showed up in the
start menu and they work. My boot process ends at a desktop so I like
to have a LO Writer icon on the desktop so I can start there if I want.
I popped up the start menu, went into "office" then with the mouse
over the LO Writer icon, dragged it to the desktop, leaving me with a
desktop icon as launcher. Clicking on the desktop icon gives a dialog
box with a message, "untrusted application launcher" and "The
application launcher 'libre-office5-3writer.desktop' has not been marked
as trusted. If you do not know the source of this file, launching it
may be unsafe." Below are two buttons, "Launch anyway" and "Cancel" I
always launch and it works fine. Still it would be nice to make it
trusted. 

Also the icon has a little lock emblem in the top right corner.
Ordinarily I expect to see that when I'm running as a user and trying
to launch a program owned by root. And finally I'd like to be able to
change the icon image and label text but an attempt to rename through
the icon properties dialogue box leaves me with a message box telling me
the item could not be renamed and 'unable to rename desktop file.'

All small stuff the upgrade is still very worthwhile.
TIA

Dave
