Please see --help for all possible usages. workaround: You can work around it by adding a space in front (but then the space becomes part of the selected value, so you should remove the space later) zenity --list --column flags " -foo" " -bar" suggested solution: commands like 'cp', 'rm' and many more use the convention that everything after "--" is interpreted literally (no more flags). If zenity also did this you could write zenity --list --column flags -- -foo -bar (Other software requires you to write -- before every argument that needs escaping. e.g. zenity --list --column flags -- -foo -- -bar) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/zenity/+bug/537371/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
