This is a big mess. Here on gentoo, terminator -x man fvwm
give me the correct result. But terminator -x "man fvwm" give me terminator with a blank console and "Impossible de démarrer le shell man fvwm" (Impossible to start the shell man fvwm). The message should be "Impossible de démarrer la commande man fvwm" (Impossible to start the command man fvwm). With other terminals: gnome-terminal -e man fvwm give me nothing (same result than terminator -x man fvwm). gnome-terminal -e "man fvwm" is working fine (like terminator -x man fvwm). xterm -e "man fvwm" and xterm -e man fvwm are both working fine. I guess that this is the appropriate behavior. aterm -e man fvwm is working fine, but aterm -e "man fvwm" give me nothing. All that imply that one that will make some code that depend on /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator or whatever your wm is using ($DefaultTerminal here), must test which term is in use and adapt the output in consequence. For terminator, I think that the best way would be to work like xterm, that is with both '-e command' and '-e "command". But that is not a big deal for me, I already adapted my code by adding one more test and the use of the -x option instead of -e for terminator.
