          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 66605
          Assignee: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: xdg-desktop-menu does not support filenames with
                    spaces
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: mgiuca at chromium.org
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: 1.1.0 rc1
         Component: xdg-utils
           Product: Portland

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a .desktop file with a vendor prefix and a space in the name. e.g.,
"foo-bar baz.desktop".
2. Run: xdg-desktop-menu install --mode user "foo-bar baz.desktop"

Expected result: The file is copied to "~/.local/share/applications/foo-bar
baz.desktop".

Actual result:
xdg-desktop-menu: filename 'baz.desktop' does not have a proper vendor prefix
A vendor prefix consists of alpha characters ([a-zA-Z]) and is terminated
with a dash ("-"). An example filename is 'example-baz.desktop'
Use --novendor to override or 'xdg-desktop-menu --manual' for additional info.

This is because it thinks I am passing two separate filenames ("foo-bar" and
"baz.desktop") even though I correctly used quotes on the command line. This is
caused by line 998 of the script, which concatenates all arguments ending in
.desktop onto $desktop_files, separating each argument with a space. After that
point, it is impossible to tell which spaces separate arguments and which are
part of the filename.

(Note that if all of the space-separated parts of the filename contain a "-",
you don't see the above error, it just fails silently because it can't find the
files it is trying to copy.)
