Option/argument for execute non-shell application at start (like -e in urxvt/xterm)

When you do $ tym --c:shell=/path/to/script, the script will be executed but the application of the terminal will be closed on event 'child-exited' of VTE. You can confirm this by following script.

#!/bin/bash
echo 'hello'
sleep 3

This specification is needed as a terminal emulator because the window should be closed when we press Ctrl+D on our shell.

So I think you need an option like no-quit to not close the window when finished. How about you?

Not yet. ☺

tym --c:shell=/path/to/script

I'm a fool! Resolved.

tym --c:shell=/path/to/script

It doesn't work with options/arguments:

% tym --c:shell="alsamixer -g"

(tym:24820): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 21:56:19.154: invalid cast from 'VteTerminal' to 'GtkWindow'

** (tym:24820): WARNING **: 21:56:19.199: vte spwan failed for: Failed to execute child process “alsamixer -g” (No such file or directory)
^C

It draws an empty window (without content).

And if I start application not inside the shell, I can't use aliases (which have options/arguments).

Finding g_shell_parse_argv(), I could implement support for shell containing multi arguments at 9aca9dc

I was also in trouble about the problem so I feel good to solve it.
