#11659: buddy pounce execute a command broken with spaces between 2.6.3 and 2.6.6
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  Alex135  |        Type:  defect                
  Status:  new      |   Component:  pidgin (gtk)          
 Version:  2.6.6    |    Keywords:  pounce execute command
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 2.6.3 and before, I had buddy pounces that executed the following command
 verbatim:

 C:\Bin\smsme.bat "Joe is online"

 I upgraded to 2.6.6 and that command no longer executes at all when the
 event is triggered.

 Trial and error has shown that the command is only executed when there are
 no intervening spaces.  That is, this works:

 C:\Bin\smsme.bat


 This does not work anymore:

 C:\Bin\smsme.bat J


 For my workflow I have the ugly workaround of creating separate batch
 files for each of the 10+ different events I want to execute this command
 on.  But I'd really rather not have to do that.  Pidgin never needed it
 before.

 This is on Windows 7 64bit.
