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.

Bug not present in 4.1 branch

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

Actually, I should read the bug report more carefully. There is also a
problem in 4.1, which will be fixed (today, I hope)

Now it is fixed in CVS HEAD. I have no idea whether the bug is present or
not in 4.0.x.

huggie says it's present in 4.0.x and asked me to reopen it

With improvements to xfdesktop and xfsession-manager, there seems to be
little holding back alpha-4.2, so 4.0.7 might never be released. So for
the time being, a 4.0.x fix is on hold.

fix uploaded to 4_0.x branch. It should work. Please verify.
