Also I don't think (read: hope) that in the path of an opened file
should be any quotes.

My first attempt was to just include the path into quotes like this:
cmd = g_strconcat("cd \"", path, "\"\n", NULL);
This should solve the problem at least for whitespaces in the path. But
there might be also some special characters(like German umlauts) in the
path. I will also have a look at g_shell_quote().

Regards,
Enrico

P.S.: Life of developers could be so nice if it were not possible to
use whitespace and other special characters in paths and filenames ;-).
