.Desktop shortcuts don't launch

From man install:

-D create all leading components of DEST except the last, or all components of --target-directory, then copy SOURCE to DEST

-m, --mode=MODE
set permission mode (as in chmod), instead of rwxr-xr-x

I wasn’t sure if my interpretation, that -D made parents and the -m set the perms for the file, was entirely correct, so:

% ls -l
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 dm dm 16743 Oct  8 10:40 env

% install -Dm644 env testy2/env

% ls -l
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 dm dm 16743 Oct  8 10:40 env
drwxr-xr-x 2 dm dm  4096 Oct  8 10:42 testy2

ls -l testy2
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 dm dm 16743 Oct  8 10:42 env
