Hi Rüdiger,

the problem with the screen scripts is that some of them are using a
single escaped string + eval to pass the parameters to xinit, and some
are using "$@", multiple parameters. And xinit has problems if one of
the parameters is "--", because it has a special meaning for that. And
xfreerdp is also using "--" to separate the plugin parameters, and
things start to get confusing (we've had bugs there before).

So personally I was waiting to have some free time to get through all
the screen scripts code and fix all similar bugs at once, rather than
fixing them individually. It other words the patch above should be fine
for all screen scripts, but I'd like to do some tests with difficult
command lines like xfreerdp <params> -- --plugin <plugin params> --
--other-plugin <other-plugin-params> before I feel confident enough to
push the fix. Of course other devs may get some free time before me and
test/commit the fix earlier.
