           Summary: aaa_base causes root login to display "-bash: test:
                    too many arguments" when a directory containing spaces

I installed Adobe AIR FLIP.
It resides in /opt/Adobe AIR FLIP (yes, it contains spaces).

I didn't track the reason for the "-bash: test: too many arguments" appearing
every time I log in as root, but some echo commands added to /etc/profile
identified the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a directory with spaces in it's name, such as "/opt/a b c"
2. Log in as root (for example in konsole).
Actual Results:  
-bash: test: too many arguments

Expected Results:  
A clean prompt

I tracked the problem down to /etc/profile.d/xdg-environment.sh

for xdgdir in /usr/local/share /usr/share /etc/opt/*/share /opt/*/share
/usr/share/gnome ; do
   if test -d $xdgdir && test -d $xdgdir/applications; then
      if test -z "$XDG_DATA_DIRS"; then
         XDG_DATA_DIRS="$xdgdir"
      else
         XDG_DATA_DIRS="$XDG_DATA_DIRS:$xdgdir"
      fi
   fi
done

The first "test" line should be changed to
   if test -d "$xdgdir" -a -d "$xdgdir"/applications; then

This fixes the problem.
