Package: kdelibs4
Version: 4:3.3.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I have been having problems with the "print to PDF"/"print to PS"
option in Konqueror, which should be reproducible as follows:

1) Install the es package
2) Make /usr/bin/es your $SHELL
3) Try to print a web page to a PDF or PS file using the print-to-file
   option in the Konqueror print dialog.

You should get an error message complaining about a syntax error in a
command line invoking gs. The problem is that es doesn't like the
unquoted/unescaped equals '=' signs in the command line which kdeprint
passes to it to be executed. A quick fix is to modify the files in
/usr/share/apps/kdeprint/filters/ which contain the templates for the
command lines, escaping all the equals signs (still works on Bourne
shells):

A cleaner solution would be to change kdeprint such that it always
invokes /bin/sh to execute these commands rather than the user's
shell, which may or may not support Bourne shell syntax.

  except that it will work with tcsh. Of course one can setup
/usr/bin/perl as a $SHELL, but well, this is braindead.
