Bug Description
Creating a new menu item that contains spaces in the "name" field fails.
Version: 0.10.1-0ubuntu1 on a freshly installed Edgy Release Candidate
Steps to reproduce:
- Open menu editor
- Choose any menu on the left side
- Choose "new entry"
- Enter a "name" that contains a space, for example "My App"
- Choose any existing executable for "command"
- Click "OK"
The menu entry is not created. It doesn't show up in the menu editor or in the menus. This is 100% reproducable.
Workaround:
- choose a name without spaces, for example "MyApp" and save that
- right click on the new menu item, choose "properties"
- add the desired space to the "name"
- save that -> menu item is still there and stays there

Some more info:
after logging off and back into GNOME again, the menu entry is there suddenly. So the menu item is created actually but doesn't appear in Alacarte until the next session.
