Public bug reported: Create a shell script with a space in its name in /tmp. Make sure the script is executable. Mv it into ~/Desktop. (You have to do it this way rather than creating it directly on the desktop because of the other bug I just filed.) Try to double-click on it. You will get an error notification instead of the script executing. Shell scripts added to the desktop in this way without spaces in their names do not have this problem.
