Inkscape's batch mode doesn't handle newlines(!) in file names, which
tbh doesn't seem to be a too big restriction in practice. Right now we
fallback on a specific path to handle that case, but I doubt that it is
really hit, given that the batch ghostscript converter likely has the
same limitation (since #9454) and no one complained about it for two years.

It looks like this logic came in via 8c66203 what inspired you to put in this bit of paranoia @anntzer ?

I guess I was just being extra extra careful; OTOH if glib's g_shell_parse_argv doesn't support that I doubt we need to bother... (or we can just redirect complaints to glib :))

The travis failure is the log_nonpos test being flaky on mac again (this time failing to read, not image comparison failures). Restarted, anyone can merge on green.
