I'm not sure this is correct... xterm -e takes all
arguments after the -e and uses them as the args for the
command being invoked, so e.g.
xterm -e bts show --mbox 489407
works. xterm also seems to unpack a single string argument
xterm -e "bts show --mbox 489407"
also works.
However, gnome-terminal.wrapper (installed as an alternative
for x-terminal-emulator) will work only in the first case.
Checking other alternatives on my system, rxvt-xterm, mlterm
mrxvt-full also only work in the first case.
I ran into something similar in my programs and came to the
conclusion that the first behaviour was the only consistent
one.
