            Bug ID: 310674
          Severity: normal
           Version: 4.9
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Desktop Entry Specification non compliance
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: andrei.ilie at ymail.com
          Hardware: Fedora RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kde

Just made a desktop entry file and discovered that spaces around the equals
sign may prevent KDE from running the launcher:
    Type=Application (works)
    Type =Application (works)
    Type= Application (doesn't work)
    Type = Application (doesn't work)

The Desktop Entry Specification standard clearly states:
    "Space before and after the equals sign should be ignored; the = sign is
the actual delimiter"

Reproducible: Always
