cannot invoke guake with command parameter

[rawfan]

Scenario: A lot of people use ssh-menu to manage their ssh-connections. Currently there is no way to use guake as a terminal emulator in ssh-menu because it cannot be started with a command as an argument.

Proposal: Introduce the parameter "-e" (for appending a command to be run in a new tab) and the parameter --profile (for defining a a specific bash profile which is sometimes necessary when using ssh-menu).

I think this should have a major priority for two reasons: a) it isn't hard to implement b) apps directly invoking the preferred terminal-emulator won't work with guake which leads to using two terminal-emulators at the same time which isn't the idea behind guake, I think.

I loved your idea, I'll work on that soon.

Thank you for contributing!

Done!

I added the '-e,--execute-command' parameter, so when launching guake, you can execute an arbitrary command.

To do it, I reworked guake dbus stuff. So, after guake is running you can call it with '-e' and the command will be executed in the first tab. But I think the better option should be the selected tab, don't you think the same?

Thanks for implementing this, I find it extremely useful. I think the following options would be the ideal solution:-

(1) Open in selected tab (2) Open in new tab

In addition an option to name the tab at the same time would be useful.

What do you think?

Hm.. not sure.. I think I'd go with "open in new tab". But thanks for implementing.. I'll write a quick fix for sshmenu now, so that I can use both of them together ;)
