Wrong forking behaviour

Description
While developing this script:
https://github.com/rdiez/Tools/blob/master/RunInNewConsole/run-in-new-console.sh
I have realised that xfce4-terminal forks on start-up. This is a problem for my script.
KDE's konsole has an option to control this. From its man page:
Use --nofork to run in the foreground (helpful with the -e option).
I am not the first to be caught by this forking behaviour:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=434863
Adding option --disable-server stops the forking. However, this option is documented as "Do not register with the D-BUS session message bus", which is apparently unrelated to forking.
