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".
