[From: bugzilla-daemon at maemo.org]

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3125

           Summary: Whitespace in 'desktop' file causes dbus abort in Maemo-
                    Launcher
           Product: System software
           Version: 4.0
          Platform: ARM
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: maemo-launcher
        AssignedTo: guillem.jover at nokia.com
        ReportedBy: roadmapformaemo at gmail.com
         QAContact: maemo-launcher-bugs at maemo.org


SOFTWARE VERSION:
os2008 All Versions

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
Load the hello world applet from maemo.org. Then edit it's .desktop file in
/usr/share/applications/hildon and add some whitespace and a carraige return or
two at the end of the file. Then save and try to launch the app from
Maemo-Launcher.  
EXPECTED OUTCOME:The App should start normally.

ACTUAL OUTCOME: dbus fails an assertion and aborts killing the app and the
whole desktop which then restarts (improperly as customizations to the status
bar and menu are lost...)


REPRODUCIBILITY:
Always

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: Doesn't matter

OTHER COMMENTS: Maemo-Launcher should chomp() the data from the 'desktop' file
for an app before passing the string along to dbus... While I haven't looked at
the code. From it's behavior, I don't think this is happening.
