Run into the same/similar issue. A desktop application launcher wouldn't work. The correct icon didn't show and when I clicked on it, I got the same ... trusted warning with only a cancel option. The .desktop file was executable, so that wasn't the issue. I tracked down the problem to the Desktop being on a partiton marked "noexec." I solved the problem by copying the launcher to another partition (with no noexec flag), and then creating a link to that launcher on the Desktop. The application launcher now works and the correct icon shows.
