Subject: [PATCH] Add support for directories with spaces

Add support for directories with spaces when launching the
scratchpad-terminal.
NOTE: The exact same command but with 6 backlashes instead of 8 seems to
work just fine. That makes no sense in my head. Either I'm missing
something or there is a bug in the escaping of backslashes in i3.
