  I wouldn't say that. It was previously a lot more confusing when you
attempted to delete a shortcut and it simply said "really delete xyz?"
where 'xyz' was the name of the file the shortcut was pointing to, with
no indication whatsoever in the dialog that only the shortcut itself would
be deleted, not the file. It always gave a feeling of playing russian
roulette with a potentially important file.

  Now it explicitly says that what is being deleted is only the shortcut,
not the file being pointed to, which is an improvement.

  An "uninstall" option to shortcuts would actually be a good idea IMO.
