 Arguments with spaces get flattened due to the eval, so running

 {{{
 ./start-tor-browser.desktop --search "hello world"
 }}}

 is effectively converted to

 {{{
 ./start-tor-browser.desktop --search hello world
 }}}

 opening up two windows, one search for "hello" and one trying to connect
 to http://world

 I have a patch, which I will try to attach.
