Bug Description

If I put a launcher on the desktop with the command
"vmplayer vmware/CsProject/Windows\ XP\ Professional.vmx" it works as it should but if I make a copy of that item and puts it in a Gnome Drawer applet it doesn't work from there.

A hotfix is to alter the file to not contain spaces so it can be started with
"vmplayer vmware/CsProject/WindowsXPProfessional.vmx". Then it works from the drawer applet.

Im running edgy.

That works fine on my desktop, do you still have the bug with Ubuntu 7.04?
