When calling `mm-display-external', the switch to pass a command to
`mm-external-terminal-program' is hard coded to "-e".
However this switch is deprecated in `gnome-terminal` and "--" should be
used instead. In my testing "-e" didn't work at all with
`gnome-terminal` (I tested the same command outside of Emacs as well).
I think it would be useful to make this configurable via a user option.
Thanks,
Kevin Foley

I've now fixed this in Emacs 29 by allowing mm-external-terminal-program
to be a list like ("gnome-terminal" "--").
