Description Uno Engborg 2006-01-19 15:26:53 UTC 
If I drag a file with a name containing spaces to a terminal window, it should
be quoted. 

Example:
Assume I have a program kalled "/home/me/pgm abc/abc" and drag that file to the
terminal window and press return it will try to execute /home/me/pgm with
abc/abc as the command argument which most likely is not what the user intended.

So I really think that the file name should be quoted automagically when dragged
from Nautilus to a terminal window.
