Hi,

I first noticed this with -snow. Choosing a host would give me the following error.

Usage: x-terminal-emulator [options]
x-terminal-emulator: error: Additional unexpected arguments found: [<hostname>]

Nothing wrong with the call in execshssh (line 59 in ssh-dialog.c) or the config.c ssh_command definition. Unless you happen to have terminator as your default x-terminal-emulator, which I do. So the fix for me was to quote the command run.
In config,c

    .ssh_command       = "{terminal} -e '{ssh-client} {host}'",

This does not affect xterm and hence should be safe but I might not know better. If you can check that, you might want to update it.

However, I still cant run anthing that uses "run_shell_command" . I have tried with/out quotes. Selecting the option seems to send the program in the background (if run from the terminal).

I am on Debian Wheezy.
