Well, that works -- but it's ugly since I have a copy of sh hanging 
around while xterm is running. To take care of that I've made sh exec 
the command:

   sh -c 'exec xterm `xtermbg`' -- this ends up replacing sh with xterm

Am I alone in the expectation that what I type in the Command field of 
a launcher should work as though it were a shell command?
