           Summary: Escaped spaces in desktop entries
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2.2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: markus.enzenberger at gmail.com


I found a small bug in the desktop entry creation of Wine 1.2.2. I installed a
program that creates links in the start menu and on the desktop. While it works
to run the program from the start menu, clicking on the Desktop entry fails.
The problem is that the command line in the desktop entry escapes spaces that
shouldn't be escaped.

The command in the desktop entry is:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/markus/.wine" wine
C:\\Programme\\Java\\jre6\\bin\\javaw.exe -jar\
\"C:\\Programme\\Fuego\\gogui.jar\"\ -program\
\"C:\\Programme\\Fuego\\fuego.exe\"\ -register

Running this command in a terminal shows the error:

Unrecognized option: -jar "C:\Programme\Fuego\gogui.jar" -program
"C:\Programme\Fuego\fuego.exe" -register

The problem is that, because spaces are inadvertedly escaped, javaw.exe is
invoked with the argument line merged into a single argument.

When I click on the corresponding lnk file in c:\users\Public\Desktop the
program starts without problems. Therefore I think that the program installs
correctly, but Wine makes a mistake when creating the desktop entry from the
lnk file.
