Steve, did you manually edit the Exec line of the desktop file? The only reason I ask is that I just created a fresh desktop file using gnome-desktop-item-edit, and entered the Exec line that you quoted, but gnome-desktop-item-edit doubled the number of backslashes in the unquoted string, so the desktop file actually worked correctly
