-x/--execute still broken

[ManuelSchneid3r]

Describe the bug
I use terminals to run commands from albertlauncher. Terminator as the only exception fails to do so. As some of the comments in the linked issue show, terminator does not interpret the args after -x as commandline, but rather interprets them as its own args. E.g.

terminator -x /bin/bash -ic "ssh somehost;  exec /bin/bash"

results in

terminator: error: unrecognized arguments: ssh github.com; exec /bin/bash

but I expect it to run a terminal without a shell and the following commandline

arg[0]: /bin/bash
arg[1]: -ic
arg[2]: "ssh somehost;  exec /bin/bash"

Finally, in the above example, terminator should open and run a shell runnig ssh.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Archlinux

(Still broken because there is #660)

Are you sure you're running the master version of terminator? That command works fine for me with master. Try terminator -u -x /bin/bash -ic "ssh somehost; exec /bin/bash" to make sure you're not attaching to an older running terminator

Ah, well that explains it. #660 isn't released yet, so it won't have been picked up by manjaro.
Bad News: If you want this change immediately you'll have to install master
Good News: I plan a release within the next couple of weeks, as soon as I get some free time

what are the plans for supporting the emerging xdg-terminal-exec?
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/2839
https://github.com/Vladimir-csp/xdg-terminal-exec#limitations
terminator actually needs quotes to exec (like in terminator -x or terminator -e)
xdg-terminal-exec vim file not works ; but
xdg-terminal-exec "vim file" yes.
