KDE 4.4 Desktop Icons/Application shortcuts error

[JayLinux]

On openSUSE 11.2 with KDE 4.4:

On trying to run any application on the desktop, it gives an error
message, which shows the file as a <.desktop> file with a red
exclamation mark (?) and says that the file should be executable to
run (checking properties of the file, all are executable, as they are
applications/application shortcuts). This happens with all apps on
desktop: Firefox, OpenOffice.org Starter, etc. (Images [1], [2] -
these are for Firefox, but happens with any app/shortcut on the
desktop). It shows the same error message on trying to run the
app/shortcut subsequently also.
Image [3] is details of the properties for the desktop shortcut for Firefox.

I tried chmod +x -R /home/user/Desktop, but the problem persists.

However, the apps can be run from the Kicker /Classic KDE Menu.
