Folderview-widget does not open directories with spaces in the name

[marquiz]

Binary package hint: plasma-widget-folderview

I'm running Kubuntu Karmic alpha6.
plasma-widget-folderview-4.3.1-0ubuntu1

A. Prerequisites
1. Put a folder-widget to the plasma desktop
2. Make the folder-widget show the Desktop folder (settings->location)
   * this is important, other locations seem to work correctly
3. From a text terminal, create a subdirectory (to the Desktop folder) with a space in the dirname
  * ~/Desktop$ mkdir foo\ bar

B. How to repeat the bug
1. Click the "foo bar" folder icon in the folder-widget

C. Expected result
A dolphin window showing folder "~/Desktop/foo bar" would open

D. What really happens
A dolphin window with two folders is opened: "~/Desktop/foo" and "~/Documents/bar". Both locations are unexistent in the file system.

Thank you for filing this bug. I can't reproduce this, the folder opens correctly.

Strange, I'm still seeing this problem. If I create a directory like:
  ~/Desktop$ mkdir "foo bar"
It opens correctly from the widget, but:
  ~/Desktop$ mkdir foo\ bar
Causes problems

foo\ bar works fine for me with KDE 4.4. If this still persists with you with KDE 4.4 you may wish to file a bug at bugs.kde.org.
