Description Eike Hein 2008-08-04 16:43:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.1 
OS:                Linux

The startkde script doesn't quote the theme name argument given to the ksplashx executable, which makes it fail on themes that have spaces in their (folder) name. The KCM in System Settings does it correctly for the "Test Theme" theme preview action, however, which makes it inconsistent on top.

diff for KDE/kdebase/workspace/startkde.cmake

This is my first attempt at a KDE patch, so comments about etiquette are welcome.

The attached patch.diff is for trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/startkde.cmake (rev. 907017).
It adds double-quotes around the theme name in the startkde script for both ksplashx and ksplashsimple commands. It fixes the bug for me.

Patch committed to trunk and 4.2 branch, thanks Olli.
