gmrun has a feature to execute a command in a terminal (press ctrl+enter
after entering the command). To accomplish that, it passes the command
and its argument as the argument list of the terminal. However most
contemporary terminal emulators require the user to prepend the commands
to be executed with some flag like "xfce4-terminal -x". I think, gnome-
terminal and konsole (KDE Terminal) have the same requirement.

However, when setting the TermExec option in the gmrun configuration
file, the parameter to be appended is ignored. Thus it calls
"xfce4-terminal COMMAND" instead of "xfce4-terminal -x COMMAND". To get
it working you have to put a wrapper script there, which will be called
by gmrun "wrapper.sh COMMAND" and in term calls "xfce4-terminal -x $*".
