            Bug ID: 107416
           Summary: xdg-mime can't handle desktop file with spaces in
                    their name
           Product: Portland
           Version: 1.1.0 rc3
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
          Assignee: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jean-18-09 at hotmail.fr

If a directory is named "bar foo baz" in an "applications" directory and there
exist
a "foo" directory in the current working directory and the directory "foo" has
a filename or subdirectory called "a foo b", a call to `xdg-mime query default
<mimetype>` for a non-existent mimetype would freeze. The freezing would make
some other programs that rely on xdg-mime freeze as well.

When xdg-mime enter the function `search_desktop_file`, it searches each
subdirectory with `for f in $dir/*/; do`, which expands to `for f in $dir/bar
foo baz/; do`, it will then search recursively "foo" and will go into a loop.

Using the command `find` might solve this issue.
