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. :)
