Re: How to make "gnome-terminal -x" behave like "xterm -e"

However, if you try the same thing with gnome-terminal:

$ gnome-terminal -x vi tmpfile ; rm tmpfile

The user never gets to read the tmpfile because it has been deleted
before vi actually gets a chance to start.

Try this:

gnome-terminal --disable-factory -x vi tmpfile ; rm tmpfile

the problem is that gnome-terminal is just asking a running
gnome-terminal to display another terminal instead of running and
displaying it's own window.. This should fix that..
