	Well, I did a little more digging and I was mistaken.  It
isn't the punctuation in the file path that does it.  It's the
use of a fully-qualified path name starting at the root.  Relative
pathnames all work, full pathnames all don't.  I can't invoke a
relative pathname with a right-click but any such path I type in
a Konsole as an argument to 'gv' works just fine, but typing a
fully-qualified pathname in Konsole, or right-clicking (which
also always uses a fully-qualified pathname) doesn't.  I'm puzzled.
