Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xubuntu-desktop
There seems to be a couple problems with launchers in xubuntu 9.10
(perhaps older versions too):
1) mkdir "/tmp/foo bar"
2) cp /usr/bin/mousepad "/tmp/foo bar"
3) Right click the desktop and create a launcher pointed at /tmp/foo
bar/mousepad
4) Double click the launcher - it will not launch mousepad (bug #1)
5) Edit the .desktop file and quote the Exec value
6) Double click the launcher and it works correctly (good)
7) Move the .desktop file into ~/.local/share/applications so that it shows up
on the Applications menu
8) Click the launcher from menu and it fails to launch (bug #2).
