[ Solved ]urxvt as x-terminal-emulator and sudo

Hi there,

I wanted to change x-terminal-emulator for urxvt.

All is good when I launch commands like :

x-terminal-emulator -e "ncmppp"

However when I want to launch commands with sudo, urxvt quickly appears and disappears. The command is not usable.

Exemple :

x-terminal-emulator -e "sudo visudo"

Do you know what I miss/do not understand ?

Pass it as a shell command

x-terminal-emulator -e sh -c 'sudo visudo'

Thanks a lot.

I still do not understand the difference between these two commands.
