nautilus-open-terminal shouldn't be doing that, so I'm reassigning this
bug there. x-terminal-emulator isn't guaranteed to support the -x
option, only -e and -T (Policy 11.8.3). In particular, -x won't work if
your x-terminal-emulator points to xterm. As noted in #457846 and
#488974, gnome-terminal's -x option is a nicer command-line interface
than xterm -e, but it's non-standard.
If n-o-t can't be adapted to work with any Policy-compliant
x-terminal-emulator, hard-coding gnome-terminal (the real one, not the
wrapper) would also work, with some loss of functionality (inability to
launch a configured non-GNOME terminal that happens to support -x in a
way compatible with gnome-terminal).
Michal, which version of nautilus-open-terminal are you running?
