hm. so you want/need more than just a "show it in a terminal", you also want 
to control the look of it. so .. it wouldn't've helped you particularly. 
since the terminal application is customizable, it's not really feasible to 
do this.

in fact, the command line as crafted above won't work with kde4's konsole 
either, as most of those command line switches are not supported in kde4's 
konsole. that sounds like a bit of an oversight since it can rather easily 
break scripts and apps such as youre ... at worst it should at least still 
run and just ignore the option, maybe offer a warning?

CC'ing Robert on this point...

yeah, once i actually tested it that was apparent ;) it's supposed to be 
passed through KShell::splitArgs ...
