Summary:                    xffm fails on directories which include spaces
Description: 
If you create a directory with a space in it and then try to run a program
by double clicking it, it fails.

e.g. create "foo bar" and put foo.sh in it and try to run it you'll see:
xterm: Can't execvp /home/huggie/foo: No such file or directory

Indeed this is a security bug as if /home/huggie/foo *does* exist then it
will be executed.

Looks like bad quoting to me.

Upgrade to 4.1.4, or remember that Joe Klemmer said that spaces in paths
are a "bad thing".
