Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-12-22 14:23:30 UTC 
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-applets/+bug/75440

"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."

Sébastien: closing the bug since there were no reply in launchpad.
