Why not make PIE an option when building? Not every game is going to care about the extra security.

Question: Is this only applicable to the universal binaries, or would it also affect a specific 32-bit or 64-bit build? I ask because I do independent builds for 32 and 64 bit most of the time. Thanks.

@pjayb Has the issue been raised with the Gnome community??

Unfortunately, this is an issue caused by Nautilus' ("Files") lack of support for position-independent executables, i.e. double-click and icon support is not available for PIE binaries. Running from the command line still works. Unfortunately, fixing this is up to the GNOME community and is out of Unity's control. However, we are considering ways to make this less painful/confusing for our users.
