Changing /usr/share/upstart/sessions/application-legacy.override to run things
within sh -c fixes it:
script
if [ -z $APP_EXEC_POLICY ]; then
exec sh -c "$APP_EXEC --desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/application
s/$APP_ID.desktop"
else
exec sh -c "aa-exec -p '$APP_EXEC_POLICY' -- $APP_EXEC"
fi
end script
And I can launch music-app and it plays files again, and I also tried with a
file with spaces and single quotes:
phablet 4795 3.7 3.6 348472 70508 ? Tl 21:13 0:05
\_ /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/bin/qmlscene
/usr/share/music-app/music-app.qml --file=/home/phablet/Music/29.07.2013 -
19:00 - L'Esprit de Mai.mp3
--desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/music-app.desktop
and it worked fine.
Or more abruptly with eval:
script
if [ -z $APP_EXEC_POLICY ]; then
eval exec $APP_EXEC --desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/
$APP_ID.desktop
else
eval exec aa-exec -p '$APP_EXEC_POLICY' -- $APP_EXEC
fi
end script
but I'm not happy with either of these as e.g. APP_EXEC_POLICY would
require quoting before it gets unquoted by eval or sh -c...

Title:
Doesn't unquote double-quotes from desktop files

Bug description:
Hi,
Testing the fix for bug #1228125, I can confirm that trying to play "a b/c
d.mp3" a single argument now gets passed to qmlscene instead of multiple ones,
but it's still double-quoted:
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/bin/qmlscene^@/usr/share/music-app/music-app.qml^@--file="/home/phablet/Music/01-guillemin_napoleon2-500k.mp3"^@--desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/music-app.desktop^@
so music-app tries to open a file starting and ending with double-
quotes...
Cheers,
