Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  Install unity-place-applications 0.2.46-0ubuntu3.1 from natty-
  proposed. Then logout and login again in the session

  1. Press alt + F2
  2. run gvim rrr:rrr.txt
  (the file has to have :)
  -> this should run the command

  When trying to run command after pressing Alt-F2 that contains a
  semicolon (e.g. gvim scp://host/file, gvim rrr:rrr.txt) nothing
  happens. The program does not run (gvim window does not appear, ps
  auxwww|grep gvim returns nothing).

  Arguments without semicolon work fine (gvim rrr.txt)

  Of course, there could be more problematic characters, I only noticed
  semicolon though.
