I discovered to my horror several years ago that gnome-terminal wants to
use "-x" where xterm and most other terminals use "-e".
Have a look at "man gnome-terminal" for specifics.
But try this:
gnome-terminal -bg white -fg black -x vi ${1+"$@"}&
ALso note the change of $* - your origial script will break if you get files
with whitespec in their names.
Cheers,
When I tried it I got this message:
Failed to parse arguments: Unknown option -bg
Also, there is no man page for gnome-terminal on my F14.
