I'm rather alarmed that libgksu uses a plain string for the command to
run, instead of passing an array, which wouldn't have these escaping
issues.  I'd like to see this corrected upstream, especially since only
a few packages would need to be adjusted.

However, if this is just a quick patch, it will need to escape slash as
well.  Consider the case of:

  \'

already being in the argument.  This patch would result in the string
becoming:

  \\'

instead of the correctly escaped:

  \\\'
