I think that depends on the program, but anyways I prefer ' '.  Applications 
like wget have to encode that anyways (but it recognizes %20 and does not 
double-escape that either).

I agree.  And I was wrong when I wrote that I have to remove "file://" after 
DnD - this actually does paste the path only.  It's copy&paste [shift-insert] 
which pastes the file:// URL.  (In KDE3, that is.  No KDE4 at hand for 
testing.)
