 do you have a better suggestion then? That's the best I got.

 FWIW the above successfully runs this via "Run in Xterm":
 {{{
  v.db.select roads where="label ~ 'highway'"
 }}}

 (set DEBUG=1 to avoid window closing after completion; but then debug
 level 1 is somewhat overused so many messages to sort through)


 with the above patch what's a case that fails?
 at leaast it's a step up from the last version which wouldn't run anything
 with arguments at all.
