What exactly executes? If a .java file is marked as executable and I type in the name at a CLI prompt it will not execute, neither will a .jar file. I understand that nautilus executes the file when it's clicked on, but what's the difference between a python script being ran when clicked on, or even a wine launcher. I am going to mark this as low priority and will check with the bug-control team on this one.
