Why the need for a new slot that connects to urlChanged ? Would simply quoting the user selected text in KOpenWithDialog::slotSelected not suffice ?

Currently, however, when the user picks a path via the provided file dialog, whitespace and other special characters in the path are inserted verbatim. This leads to an error when the user tries to select an executable whose path contains such characters.
