It looks like a bug in Glade. It doesn't quote the filename when calling
system(). In glade_project.c it does this:

  command_buffer = g_strdup_printf ("glade-- %s",
project->xml_filename);

when it should do something like:

  command_buffer = g_strdup_printf ("glade-- '%s'",
project->xml_filename);


Thanks for the report.
