Example of an error message:

"/home/krsch/hdd/games/The\sLast\sFedaration/game/LastFederationLinux.x86_64" 
(No such file or directory)

File "/home/krsch/hdd/games/The Last
Fedaration/game/LastFederationLinux.x86_64" does exist and is
executable.

As mentioned in http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-
spec/latest/ar01s03.html , escape sequence \s should be treated as a
space in string fields. Unfortunately. xfce4-appfinder ignores this
rule.

I use Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and xfce4-appfinder 4.10.1-1

The desktop file that triggered the above error is:
 [Desktop Entry]
 Type=Application
 Name=The Last Fedaration
 Comment=The Last Fedaration (GOG.com)
 
Icon=/home/krsch/hdd/games/The\sLast\sFedaration/support/gog-the-last-fedaration.png
 
Exec="/home/krsch/hdd/games/The\sLast\sFedaration/game/LastFederationLinux.x86_64"
 Categories=Game;
 Terminal=false
