Razor-qt/razor-qt — Issue #66: Autostart issues with spaces/env vars?

In my ~/.config/autostart:

adys@azura ~/.config/autostart % cat pidgin.desktop
[Desktop Entry]

Comment=
Exec=pidgin --config=$HOME/.config/purple

The pidgin process is started without the proper config dir. This either means whatever is after the first space is ignored, or the environment variable is not being replaced.

Either way this needs fixing; it works fine on KDE's autostart.
