?? Then it's because startx (or other subscripts) is bugged. The
shell honours quotes and gives you the awaited nice string as
first arg of prog :

[gc@obiwan ~] ruby -e 'puts ARGV[0]' firstarg
firstarg
[gc@obiwan ~] ruby -e 'puts ARGV[0]' first arg
first
[gc@obiwan ~] ruby -e 'puts ARGV[0]' "first arg"
first arg
