thats what it smells like. i use xterm and it behaves like a good little boy:

WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { "xterm", "-e", "htop" }

thats how xterm works.. but not ctrl+c/v - middle mouse click to paste. just
hilight to copy. old school x style. :) you can skip the ctrl+c bit :)

one of these days we have to modernize eterm (or start afresh) and make an e
