TypeError: glib.spawn_async: second argument must be a sequence of strings

Hi

I am trying to pass some arguments to bash scripts/executables in text mode and this is the error I am getting.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/kupfer/kupfer/ui/browser.py", line 1615, in _activate
    self.data_controller.activate(ui_ctx=self._make_gui_ctx())
  File "/usr/share/kupfer/kupfer/core/data.py", line 800, in activate
    res, ret = ctx.run(leaf, action, sobject, ui_ctx=ui_ctx)
  File "/usr/share/kupfer/kupfer/core/commandexec.py", line 303, in run
    ret = activate_action(execution_token, obj, action, iobj)
  File "/usr/share/kupfer/kupfer/core/commandexec.py", line 80, in activate_action
    return _activate_action_single(obj, action, iobj, kwargs)

TypeError: glib.spawn_async: second argument must be a sequence of strings

I am on Debian Jessie using Python 2.7.

thanks

I looked at code and best anwser I found is this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21792231/within-python-what-is-exactly-a-sequence-of-strings-or-else-glib-bug

Then my workaround:
https://github.com/hugosenari/kupfer/commit/12653d3ac2addf3ef682d1cf1e08b641729b5abf

But this let me with another bug that I don't know if come from these changes or not:
When you pass a string to gedit (wih pass to command), kupfer exit when gedit close.

To test my version change your:
/usr/share/kupfer/kupfer/utils.py
With:
