          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 69339
          Assignee: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Unquoted file name in xdg-desktop-menu
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: Martin.vGagern at gmx.net
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: 1.1.0 rc1
         Component: xdg-utils
           Product: Portland

Line 895 of the xdg-desktop-menu script passed a file name unquoted to grep:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/tree/scripts/xdg-desktop-menu?id=2baf6ae56f9b622ca51aa79ff370676aaef93908#n895

if grep 'generated and managed by xdg-desktop-menu' $menu_file > /dev/null 2>
/dev/null; then

On my system I have a file name containing the sequence ' - ', which caused
grep to read from stdin, with obscure side effects. I believe that the command
should be something like this:

grep 'ge…nu' -- "$menu_file"
