When i try to open a symlink that is on the desktop, the Open With dialog window appears for a split second and then disappears.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.link any file to the desktop (ln -s file.png ~/Desktop) which normally would open in the proper application when double-clicked
2. try to open it by double-clicking on the it's from the desktop


Actual Results:  
watch for the Open With dialog box to appear and disappear.

Expected Results:  
The file would open as if it were the file it is symlinked too. OR at minimum, the Open With dialog would open and stay open, so I could choose with which application I would like it to be opened.
