  Xfce4-panel uses xfterm4 -e ... to execute a shell command.  I had a
little bug in xfterm4 (the string command wasn't quoted == exo-open:
unknown option -c), but everything works fine now.  I attach the patch,
benny can you commit it?

  Landry, you should run the command fine if you apply the patch over
xfterm4.
