We don't get the ls output because it terminates to early I think, but it
works fine with:

xfce4-terminal -x touch /tmp/test

for example.

Even with ls:

strace -fe trace=process xfce4-terminal --disable-server -x /bin/ls
execve("/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal", ["xfce4-terminal", "--disable-server", "-x", "/bin/ls"], [/* 51 vars */]) = 0
arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_FS, 0x3485fd45f00)  = 0

So the process is run. Maybe you have issues with stdin/stdout, I'm not sure.
