Description
Tested JRE: b130-pit  http://rehudson.sfbay.sun.com/hudsonws/deploypit/bundles/ Label: b255-2011-02-10_39
Tested OS: winxp
Tested Browser: firefox3.6, IE8

Steps to reproduce:
1) Clear deploment cache 
2) Launch the following applet in browser:
http://rehte.cn.oracle.com:8080/wshost/new_ws/deployment/src/plugin/Decoration/Decoration/html/DecorationTrueJnlp.html
this jnlp applet can be dragged out, and has shortcut hint in jnlp file
3) Drag the applet out of browser
4) Close the browser
5) When prompting whether to create a desktop shortcut, click "OK"
6) Close the applet
7) Launch the applet from desktop shortcut, if the applet can not be launched from desktop, the bug is reproduced

If we create the shortcut by "javaws -import -silent -shortcut http://rehte.cn.oracle.com:8080/wshost/new_ws/deployment/src/plugin/Decoration/Decoration/html/DecorationTrueJnlp.jnlp", the applet can be launched correctly from desktop shortcut
