I would say this is only correct as a sort of safeRunInTerm.  The problem  
being, if you want to pass an actual shell command using builtins, multiple  
semicolon-separated commands, backgrounding, etc. then none of this will  
work and you will have to use "gnome-terminal -x" to get it to hand off the  
string to a shell for execution.  (The current setup "just works" for most  
terminal programs; only gnome-terminal decided to do something incompatible  
with -e.)
