When adding a non-steam game, Steam client does not properly register game if there is a space in the path.
Here is the .desktop file:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8

Type=Application
Name=Nightmares from the Deep: The Cursed Heart
GenericName=Nightmares from the Deep: The Cursed Heart
Comment=Nightmares from the Deep: The Cursed Heart

Exec="/home1/ralmond/Games/Nightmares from the Deep The Cursed Heart/start.sh" ""
Categories=Game;
Path=/home1/ralmond/Games/Nightmares from the Deep The Cursed Heart
When imported into Steam, I get the following in the properties dialog:
Two issues are visible, one is not.
The pathname is truncated at the first space.
There seems to be a redundant quote in front of both the application and directory name.
[Not in screen shot] The icon (note space in pathname) is not found.
Additionally, if I have two games whose paths are the same up to the first space (in this case "Nightmares from the Deep 2") Steam will not see the second game even if I explictly navigate to and select the .desktop file.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
Install a non Steam game with a space in the pathname.
