Re: WinXP username with spaces --> wmaker ko

Hi!

Just a quick thought, any special reason HOME doesn't contain a
"legal" path, escaped, as it probably (?) should be on a real unix
system?

(Escaped = /home/Alan\ Miles/ instead of /home/Alan Miles/)

What happens if you add the escape-character to /etc/passwd ?
