Action Buttons that fails with special chars such as the "&" in the full user name..

Hi everyone,

With new XFCE 4.10, the new Action Buttons plugin seems to have some problems with special characters that we can use in the full user name, such as the "&"...

For example, my user account is "johan" and if I use "Johan Martin" as the full user name, Action Buttons menu shows correctly "Johan Martin".

But if I use "Tom & Jerry" as the full user name, Action Buttons menu fails and shows "Tom Johan Jerry".

I've got the same problem regardless Xubuntu version: I use both 12.04 and 12.10 (on my Xubuntu 12.04 XFCE 4.10 is installed through the ppa).

Of course, the old Session Menu from XFCE 4.8 didn't have this issue ;-).

As attachement, a small screenshot from Action Buttons that fails: <Action_Buttons.jpg>..

- XFCE version: 4.10
- Xubuntu version: both 12.04 and 12.10

Regards,
Johan
