Description Timothy Stebbing 2008-10-29 23:11:48 UTC 
When using gnome-terminal with the -e or --command argument, stdin for
gnome-terminal should be piped to stdin for the executed command. This
would make gnome terminal far more useful, for example:

% bzr diff | gnome-terminal -e less&
continue working..

% ps aux | gnome-terminal -e less&
continue working..

I tried this first example today and was surprised when it -didn't- work,
I find the same feature lacking in xterm as well.
