Bug#551357: leafpad: cannot open file from command line if name contains ":"

[John Lindgren]

Package: leafpad
Version: 0.8.16-1
Severity: normal

Leafpad completely fails to open any file that has a colon in its name.
For example:

        $ echo "hello world" > "test:file.txt"
        $ cat "test:file.txt"
        hello world
        $ leafpad "test:file.txt"

Leafpad pops up with a blank window labeled "(Untitled)".  No errors
dialogs are displayed, and nothing is printed on the console.
