Yes, but I've put the example commands in single quotes so that the arguments
are not pre-parsed before the new terminal window receives it:

> $ xterm   -e 'echo "hello"; sleep 3'
> $ konsole -e 'echo "hello"; sleep 3'

I still don't see why both of these terminals behave so dramatically
differently when executing this.

Okay, must've been further back then.
