Public bug reported: gnome-terminal -e 'command...' emits a warning:
# Option “-e” is deprecated and might be removed in a later version of gnome-terminal. # Use “-- ” to terminate the options and put the command line to execute after it. However this is contrary to the man page, which says nothing about -e being deprecated, and does not mention anything about the new method being possible (-- followed by command and options). Please update the documentation STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. man gnome-terminal 2. gnome-terminal -e "sh -c 'ls -l; sleep 3'" RESULTS: The documented method of specifying a command causes a deprecation warning. EXPECTED RESULTS: Documentation should say how to do the right thing.
