You are right,  but the ones I found  refer to blanks in the path of the
file TO BE OPENED.  My problem is blanks in the path of the program that
is used to open the file.   This program is picked  internally by QDesk-
topServices::openUrl() and is called internally,  and currently it seems
the path to it must not contain blanks.

Sincerely,
  Rainer
