I personally think lxterminal should do what xterm does. IIRC other terms handle -e in the same way. The only differernt one is gnome-terminal since its -e is broken and only supports -x. So I would suggest change current behavior since it's not users expect. It's not a incompatible change, it's a bug fix. :-)
