bool utils_execute::launch_xterm_shell (  const wxString &    command, const wxString &    shell_console_title = wxEmptyString, bool    close_on_exit = FALSE, bool    synchronous = FALSE, bool    show_scrollbar = TRUE, long    saved_line_history = 10000 )  [static]

Executes a command in a new xterm window, optionally setting the window behaviour. wxShell(command) on WXGTK I don't feel works as advertised (won't open an interactive window--it runs in the background). But calling xterm ourselves gives us more control anyways. Parameters: command  Required. A command string to be executed in xterm shell_console_title  Title at top of window. If empty, then will use the name of the command's executable as the title. close_on_exit  Whether to close the xterm window when the commandline application terminates. synchrous  TRUE to make it a synchronous execution, that is, your application doesn't need for xterm to finish before it continues with its program flow. show_scrollbar  TRUE to show a scrollbar on the side of the window (right left mouse clicks on the scrollbar scroll it, as do shift+page up/down). saved_line_history  Number of lines to keep in memory that user can scroll backwards to. Returns : TRUE if the execution of xterm was successful.
