[Bug 56457] gnome-session-properties: Running a script in a subdirectory with spaces in name is not possible

[jdo]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-session

Trying to run a script at startup with the gnome-session-properties was
not possible. It has to do with spaces in my directory names.

I have added it to the gnome-session-properties program in 'start
program' tab (System > Preferences > Sessions > Startup Programs), but
my script is not executed.

This will work: My script 'startup.sh' in my home directory, and adding
"sh /home/jdo/startup.sh" to the list.

However, If I add this to the list: "sh /home/jdo/Scripts and
Settings/Bash Scripts/startup.sh", the script is never executed.

I tried everything with double quotes, and backslashes before the
spaces. Using the brows button, or typing it directly. There seems to be
some kind of translation of the text after I click Ok. The result
however never works.
