I forgot to mention, that you don't need to run two terminals, just
follow my advices, resp. test the workaround. IOW uncheck the "run in
terminal" option. Execute xfce4-terminal -x , but use the sudo inside
the srcript, do not run xfce4-terminal -x sudo.

#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
  workaround)
    sudo $0
  ;;
  *)
    while sleep 1
    do
      date
    done
  ;;
esac

xfce4-terminal -x /path/workaround.sh workaround

IOW the name of the script is  workaround.sh  and you start it with the
option  workaround  , this does cause an additional process, but all
processes get terminated when closing the terminal.

So you can write with it and no one will know.
