Using the above setting is really bad: no directory listing possible when some directory in the absolute path contains a SPACE…

When you can install gls from the GNU Coreutils the settings

	(setq ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program t)
	(setq insert-directory-program "gls")

allow GNU Emacs 24.1 to use gls.

A second problem exists with possible use of the variable dired-listing-switches. With GNU gls I use "-ahlN" which has to be with the system's ls "-ahlw".
