Summary: Problem starting external PDF viewer on Linux

Initial Comment:
Starting an output sheet from PCGen with acroread or kpdf or other tools fails on Linux if the pdf file name contains spaces.

For example, the external PDF command preference is set to "/opt/bin/acroread %" and the file is name "Some Guy.pdf". While this works on Windows, on Linux the system tries to load two separate documents into Adobe Reader, namely "Some" and "Guy.pdf". It doesn't help to put single of double quotes around the % sign in the preference.
