PekWM passes the & (and) character to the process, adding it to the end of the Exec parameter is not needed since version 0.3.1.

I just tried it with pekwm 0.4.1 and it still works without your patch. Is that right?

Without this patch, when I launch image viewers like GPicView or Gwenview, they show the following error:

Unable to open file "&": No such file or directory

So the problem is that PekWM now passes the & (and) sign to the application as a parameter, and many applications try to handle it as a file name to open.
