[gcmd-dev] gcmd-block and terminal invocation

[Micha]

Since I changed the 'programs' setting to xterm, long ago, 
i didn't notice that sh <shift+enter> does not work with gnome-terminal.

The problem is with the 'execute' option.
xterm -e reads the whole remaining commandline,
where gnome-terminal -e expects a single argument.
This can be overcome by quoting the %s placeholder in the settings like:
gnome-terminal -e "%s"
but then gcmd adds the gcmd-block command as ''extra junk'  ;-)

[GG] running: gnome-terminal -e 'sh; /usr/bin/gcmd-block'

It doesn't work with the -x option either because gcmd does it's own 
quoting, which causes -x to run the gcmd-block command inside
the terminal (i think):

[GG] running: gnome-terminal -x 'sh; /usr/bin/gcmd-block'

Look at this....I can do:
gnome-terminal -e "less /tmp/test"
but any of these will fail:
gnome-terminal -e less /tmp/test; read a
gnome-terminal -e "less /tmp/test; read a"

What works is:
gnome-terminal -e "less /tmp/test"; less /tmp/test

but there's no way to set it up in gcmd options, AFAICS...

Suggestion: Don't include /usr/bin/gcmd-block into the quoted commandline ? 

By the way, what's this gcmd-block all about ?
