[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#362807: kaffeine: fails to properly play files with names containing '#' character

[Matt R Hall]

Package: kaffeine
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: normal

Attempting to play files with a '#' in their name in this version of kaffeine 
sometimes results in the following error message:

'The specified file or url was not found. Please check it.'

After locating the problem, I tried the following two commands on working test 
files. I included single quotes for shell protection.

1) kaffeine '#.mpg'
2) kaffeine '# .mpg'

Both of these commands result in kaffeine essentially ignoring the existence 
of the files and not playing anything. When working with longer filenames I 
was able to convince kaffeine to display the error message above, but only 
intermittently. Other times the audio stream played but without a video 
stream. To rule out interference from bash, I also tried the same things using 
backslash escapes but no change was observed.

Hope this is enough, otherwise please contact me with further queries.
Matt
