Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: deskbar-applet
I have installed a third party applicationwhich had the good idea to name their
binary with a space in it.
When I try to launch it via the deskbar Applet, it finds it corectly (and
displays the space), but it is unable to execute it.
I get something like (I have it in french actually) :
"Unable to execute the program : 'foo bar' "
How to reproduce
==============
1) Create a dummy "foo bar" program
> cd /usr/bin
> sudo echo "echo hello" > "foo bar"
> sudo chmod +x "foo bar"
2) Try to launch it via the deskbar applet.
