Bug Description

this is not audacious specific but ubuntu problem. I have confirmed that totem, vlc, gedit, rhythmbox suffer from the same issue.

The problem is when you have a file with a single quotation mark, ', and then a whitespace like: [ab' cdef.mp3] or [abc'de fgh.txt], i am using square brackets [] to show full file name. When you click this files in ubuntu 12.10, they show as multiple files which are invalid.

However if the white space only occur BEFORE the quotation mark, eg [abc d'efg.mp3], then everything is fine.
