Indeed it does.

I guess the issue of how to handle the arguments following -e is a bit tricky, and \
this *ought not to work*: x-terminal-emulator -e 'if true; then { echo "true"; \
bash;}; fi' although it does with some terminals.
'if true; then { echo "true"; bash;}; fi' doesn't work in an actual terminal \
interface though, because the whole quoted string is treated as a single command, and \
rejected.

This works:
x-terminal-emulator -e sh -c 'if true; then { echo "true"; bash;}; fi'

Anyway the issue is fixed. :)
