Dear maintainers,

doing this

1. Create some launcher on the desktop (RM->Create Launcher)
2. Copy launcher to some panel (Drag-And-Drop)
3. Remove launcher from desktop
4. Logout+Login (so mate-panel is refreshed)

silently leaves the user with no launcher visible any more in
the panel. It's still in the panel's config though; (for example)
resurrecting the Desktop Launcher from the Trash makes it visible
again after Logout/Login.

There is no way to notice for the user (i.e., via the MATE
desktop) that such a broken panel item ist still configured. The
only way to see is via the user's ".xsession-errors" file
("Unable to open desktop file"...).

Imho, one of the following simple solutions would fix this:

- Just show the broken items in the panel anyway, so the user can deal with them. - Add a pop-up whether the user wants to remove the broken items (like for broken panel apps).

Furthermore, when Drag-and-drop the desktop launcher to the
panel, it shows a '+', which should read 'copy', but this
obviously is not a real copy -- a different issue (this is about
error handling only), but related.

This issue won't be fixed for jessie, but I have filed the issue upstream [1].
