Bug Description

When attempting to run an app with an argument (ie. "$ Firefox -no-remote" ), Do will not execute anything.

My case:
Launch Do, type "firefox -no-remote" -> [Tab] "run" [Enter]
Nothing.

The same command will work from a terminal, or simply launching FF w/out arguments will also work.

I have the same problem. It has been present since I upgraded to 10.10 or rather: it was not present in 10.04.

The terminal output from Do when running the command "terminator -mb [tab] run" is

gvfs-open: file:///home/username/terminator%20-mb: error opening location: Error stating file '/home/username/terminator -mb': No such file or directory

Like Betty, I have no problem running applications without arguments or starting them from a terminal. It seems like Do is looking for applications in the wrong place (Do is not using $PATH?). Hopefully there is a workaround for this.

This is probably the same as #661331.

This also happens with the Lucid packages when installed in Maverick, so I don't think that Gnome-Do was changed to behave like this.
