           Summary: xdg-desktop-icon does not work when user desktop dir
                    has spaces
           Product: Portland
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
        AssignedTo: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: alan_drop-ml at yahoo.com


Considering that a user has his DESKTOP set to "/home/john/My Desktop",
xdg-desktop-icon will fail with the following message:

[: 523: x/home/john/My: unexpected operator

This happens because the strings are not properly quoted on line 522:
if [ x`readlink -f "$desktop_dir"` != x`readlink -f "$desktop_dir_kde"` ]; then

instead of 

if [ "x`readlink -f \"$desktop_dir\"`" != "x`readlink -f \"$desktop_dir_kde\"`"
]; then
