(With apologies to ptomblin) The proper way to handle whitespace
in the path is to delete the file, hire a hitman to kill the author,
his wife and kids, fuck his dog, and smash his computer into little 
bits. Anything more is just extremism.

I'd file a bug against kde 2 and debian menu package (I presume
that's the one responsible for .../hookdir/Debian/...)
