Package: gnome-panel
Severity: minor
Launchers seem to eat '%' in command line. For example, if I setup a launcher
for "rdesktop -g 90% x.x.x.x", I'll have to scape the '%' with a backslash.
I understand that there's a replacement mechanism for strings like "%u" (seen
this in Firefox launcher), but when '%' isn't followed by a char that gives it a
particular meaning (such as 'u'), I think it should be left unmodified rather
than removed.

As Loïc mentionned, % is the escape character for string "%" (confirmed
by upstream documentation at [1]).
So because the issue is resolved, we can close this bug.
