gnome-session is run with arguments

Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.6.2-5
The /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc script doesn't work correctly
when gnome-session is run with arguments (such as in "gnome-session
--purge-delay 3000").
Running gnome-session with arguments causes this error message:
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc: line 3: [: too many arguments
To reproduce (using GDM):
1) change /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop to run gnome-session with at least
one argument
2) login into a Gnome session
3) the error message can be found in ~/.xsession-errors. Also the ~/.gnomerc
file (if it exists) is not executed
This happens because the code in 55gnome-session_gnomerc that gets the file name
from the STARTUP variable doesn't account for possible arguments in STARTUP.
A simple (and not perfect) way to solve this is to delete all characters after
the first space (including). I'm attaching a patch:
