Public bug reported:
When you select a file to be automatically opened on startup and that
file contains anything but [a-Z/] revelation fails to open it.
The file name is stored in gconf in a <stringvalue> and special
characters are URI encoded (" " = %20, "%" = %25, "+" = %2B, etc.).
Later, when Revelation reads the filename from gconf it tries to open it
without decoding the URI encoded string.
Two error messages are produced (the file is /home/ubuntu/test bug/passwords):
"The file '/home/ubuntu/test%20bug/passwords' could not be opened. Make sure
that the file exists, and that you have permissions to open it."
and a traceback:
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/revelation", line 1833, in <module>
app.run()
File "/usr/bin/revelation", line 1591, in run
self.file_open(io.file_normpath(file))
File "/usr/bin/revelation", line 1481, in file_open
entrystore = self.__file_load(file, password)
File "/usr/bin/revelation", line 1019, in __file_load
return result

In Debian this bug is fixed in 0.4.11-5 and the bug is #518085
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=518085). In that bug
report there is a 2 line patch that fixes the problem by adding
urllib.unquote to the processing of the filename.
Please apply that patch to the Ubuntu package as well.
