I’m not quite sure I understood what you want to achieve, but here we go: I tried with xfce4-terminal, but that should mostly behave the same as uxterm. Essentially, there are two problems to solve here: a) xfce4-terminal -e /bin/bash -c /usr/bin/mc is read as the "-c" option by the terminal, not the shell. We need $ xfce4-terminal -e "/bin/bash -c /usr/bin/mc" to pass -c to bash rather than xfce4-terminal. b) Furthermore, bash appears to have no option not to exit after the command passed via -c exits. However: $ xfce4-terminal -e "/bin/bash -c \"/usr/bin/mc && /bin/sh\"" runs /bin/sh after /usr/bin/mc exits sucessfully (use ; instead of && to ignore return codes).
