Bug Description

== Description
I use the gmail notifier in gnome and have the chromium-browser as my default browser.

My google password contains a space and this causes the gmail notifier to open 2 tabs in chromium-browser.

One with URL:
  https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLoginAuth?ltmpl=default&ltmplcache=2&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F%3F&service=mail&rm=false&<email address hidden>&Passwd=****************

And one with URL:
  http://****************%26rmshown%3D1%26signin%3Dsign+in/

== Proposed fix
I guess the gnome-gmail-notifier should apply some escaping of spaces, either with %20 or a mere +; either in the user-input or in the final URL

== Other WM's / Browsers
If I need to provide infos about iceweasel or unity, i'll be happy to oblige, but I guess the same problem exists here 2.

== My system
% lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release: 12.04
