Title:
  Unity Alt+F2 doesn’t understand shell quoting

Status in Unity Applications Lens:
  Triaged
Status in “unity-lens-applications” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity-place-applications

  If you press Alt+F2 and run
    zenity --info --text='two words'
  you get a dialog that says
    'two
  instead of the correct
    two words
  that you’d get running the same command in a terminal or from Alt+F2 in a classic GNOME session.

  Please pass the command string to the shell using sh -c, instead of
  interpreting it ad-hoc by splitting on spaces.
