Does the new patch actually *silently* skip move impossible attempts??
Excuse my ignorance, but why are system resources actually needed to be *moved* anywhere by a random user - what means they're now gone in their original location (and for everyone else)
This does not sound as if the current move has a problem, but the design of those private activities has (single user approach -> fix that by logging him in as root and watch the project fail ;-)

The new .desktop file is created successfully but the source file is not deleted if the user does not have write permission on the file's directory. This patch detects such situation and uses copy instead of move to prevent "permission denied" messages for every resource being added.
