I forgot to mention that the current implementation fails because of the
"$ESTRING" and causes the following error...

Option "--execute/-x" requires specifying the command to run on the rest
of the command line

So we need to do something about that anyway, thus my proposal to over
simplify xfterm4.

Cheers,
Olivier.
