Spaces in path name not allowed.

[Mike Birch]

Binary package hint: dvdrip

Using the default version 1:0.98.11-0ubuntu2, attempted to set the path to "/media/Expansion Drive" (with and without quotes). System announces that "special characters are not allowed" and changes the value back.

Firstly, spaces are not special characters in that sense and need to be available to access external drives (ripping a DVD to the netbooks internal drives is not an option).

Secondly, changing it back to a value that is definitely wrong (otherwise I wouldn't be changing it) is _incredibly_ annoying, particularly when I'm building the path out of 2 parts. Even if the result is invalid, refusing to save the preferences is preferable to this kind of on-the-fly "correction".
