Description BRULE Herman 2009-10-20 15:16:33 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)

Hello,

cd ~
echo "" > " RICE.pdf"
Now a file with file name start with space have been created, KDE is not able to load this file, you can try send it by email or by kopete, it not work.
Thanks to solve it.

I can confirm that KDE file dialogs do not work properly with a filename starting with a space. However, Dolphin can open this file properly.

Testing on:

Qt: 4.6.0 (Qt git branch 4.6 commit c5c58c2368f71c5d0067c9389c8ad04c41b66db5
        Date:   Wed Sep 9 15:09:34 2009 +0200)
KDE: 4.3.72 (KDE 4.3.72 (KDE 4.4 >= 20091015))
kdelibs svn rev. 1037743 / kdebase svn rev. 1037743
on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.30.6


@BRULE Herman: are you noticing this error on any other operation ?

Thanks

As a workaround, put the name in double quotes.
