CentOS - Apr 2019 - "Untrusted application launcher (desktop launchers)"

I am having this problem on Ubuntu 18.04 -- I manage a batch of desktop
machines with some convience desktop launchers, which gnome3 insists are
"untrusted". With some general websearching reveals that this is a
*GNome3*
so-called "security" issue
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/commit/1630f5348). I found a thread
on the CentOS Forums (I don't have an account there), where another sysadmin
is strugling with this issue:

https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=65864&start=10

If anyone has come up with a script that can be dropped into 
~/.config/autostart/ to "fix" this "feature" of gnome3 I
would be interested
in it.

Hi,

Just chmod +x the desktop files.

That or teach the users how to do things correctly.

That is NOT the problem...

Oh, yeah, you really think I am going to get very far telling *non-techies* to:

1) Open up a terminal (right-click on the desktop and select "Open
Terminal")
2) Type at the shell prompt (huh? what is a "shell prompt")

   /usr/local/bin/arduino &
   
OR
   gnucash &
   
OR

   scratch &
   
These happen to be the three desktop shortcuts I am providing.  Yes, the last 
two can be found by searching through all available applications, if they 
know what to look for.  It is so much easier to say: click on the light 
blue-green infinity sign for Arduino, click on the pile of money for GnuCash, 
or click on the scratch cat for scratch.
