Description gw.kenta 2011-11-23 15:08:44 CET 
Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a terminal window
2. Try to send a notification via notify-send that has an ampersand anywhere in the description.
For example: 
notify-send "Title" "& Body"
notify-send "Title" "\& Body"
notify-send "Title" "\\& Body"
notify-send "Title" "\%38 Body"

Actual Results:  
A notification will show up showing the title with the body being completly blank.

Expected Results:  
A notification should show up with the title and description including an ampersand.
Comment 1 Jérôme Guelfucci editbugs 2012-12-08 18:05:44 CET 
Fixed in git master branch commit a5f0108f7a1dd679338cd5cc185169b86955592d.

notify-send "Title" "& Body" now works as expected.
