So, this is what I can provide:

- two screenshots. Both show on the left the "create link" dialog (Create 
New -> Link to Device -> nfs). It shows five tabs, the middle one 
being "Device".

On the right  you see the properties of an existing "Link to Device".

On the desktop of 3.5.13.2 you have the middle tab. On the desktop of 
3.5.14.0.0 it does not show. The Link does not get the correct icon and it 
does not work either (although mount <mount point> works, so the nfs mount 
does work).

I also compared the Desktop Files, they are identical, so the problem is 
deeper.
