Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Place an executable in the path with spaces
2. Start it
3. Lock to Launcher in Unity panel
4. Close it
5. Try to start it from panel
Expected results:
Application started
Actual results:
It cannot start
Manual fix:
1. You can open created the file from ~/.local/share/applications
2a. Manually escape spaces in Exec parameter
2b. Or surround this string with quotes
I guess the problem is that the result of get_exec_string is never
escaped in src/bamf-legacy-window.c from lp:bamf. But I don't know how
to setup testing environment and check it on my machine.
