Trouble creating desktop shortcut in Plasma 5

I'm trying to drag entries from KDE's application launcher onto the desktop, but an icon is not created when I do so.

Interestingly enough, I can actually drag the application to the default panel, and an icon is created there. Then I can drag that icon to the desktop and it works just fine.

What's going on here?

Unlock the mini apps and go to where you set the wallpaper. There is a Layout option. Desktop files are off by default. But you're right, it should create a mini on the desktop nonetheless.

If I interpret the changelog correctly, there was a bug, which has now been fixed with 5.3.2
