Spaces, bloody spaces.

[Richard]

I fixed up a bug in the QT7 backend a week ago regarding an issue with  
urls. The problem happened if you created a url with a path that  
already contained encoded characters like %20. In such cases the media  
player got confused, because it didn't use QUrl::fromEncoded(...). In  
addition, the url was converted into a mac-specific NSUrl the wrong  
way in the backend. So it might be that this is what you experience.

(I havent commited this fix to KDE yet, but you can find it in the  
snapshots: http://trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/snapshots)
