OTHER METHODS
- launch($debug);
-
Calculates (and returns) the command that will launch your xterm. It also runs that command in a child process - unless $debug is specified.

-
Return the arguments that will be passed to the xterm. This will provide the customisations. There should be no reason to call this method directly.
