Commit 70f23caa9a introduced new issues.
Instead of distinguishing " and \, as that commit attempted,
let’s instead keep the level of escaping by escaping each backslash,
just like each double quote.
I tested this with:
# recommended way to quote $ and " in quoted arguments, not ambiguous
Exec=/tmp/logargs "hello \\$PWD \\"and\\" more"
# permitted way to quote $ and " in quoted arguments, but ambiguous
Exec=/tmp/logargs "hello \$PWD \"and\" more"
# permitted way to quote arguments, slightly unusual to quote first arg
Exec="/tmp/logargs" hey
# a complicated shell expression, not ambiguous
Exec=sh -c "if [ -n \\"\\$*\\" ]; then exec /tmp/logargs --alternate-editor= --display=\\"\\$DISPLAY\\" \\"\\$@\\"; else exec /tmp/logargs --alternate-editor= --create-frame; fi" placeholder %F
