    Support the command-line option "-e <command>", which creates a new
    terminal window and runs the specified command. <command> may be
    multiple arguments, which form the argument list to the executed
    program. In other words, the behavior is as though the arguments
    were passed directly to execvp, bypassing the shell. (xterm's
    behavior of falling back on using the shell if -e had a single
    argument and exec failed is permissible but not required.)

    Seconded.
