That's what I posted in my solution, and you replied saying that was
wrong and I should check the "run in terminal option".

Unchecking "run in terminal" and using this command works just fine:

  sudo xfce4-terminal -x <whatever>

What is the need for anything more complicated?

I also don't uderstand why you said I should use -e instead of -x.

Don't it do exactly the same thing when there is a single command with
no arguments?
