Yes! :-)

Thanks for your input!

The reason why I did not tried this one was that I thought that the
argument after «-e» has to be quoted to be recognized as one
single argument. I was wrong with this assumption when using xterm.

In xterm, «-e» has to be the *last* argument. This way, it is able
to do the trick as shown by your email.

For anybody who wants to do this with gnome-terminal as well: there
is an additional option «-x» which takes *remaining* command line as
one single argument just like the «-e» option of xterm does.

Annoying problem for me for too long but now I got it, thanks!
