It is another issue with the terminal emulators, some use -e to launch
applications, other use -x, and I am not convinced the wrapper glue
they done in Debian recently around gnome-terminal and
x-terminal-emulator (Debian terminal), instead of fixing
this at the application level, will solve all the cases. In fact, I
just find it work for me at the console, but fail fvwm-crystal menu,
which is very strange because I used the same command in both cases. But
I didn't get the time to look further into it, so I have no certitude at
that time.
