Folco:
On the other hand, xterm is not installed on all systems.
Nevertheless, options -e and -T seems to be common : gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm, aterm, eterm for the terminals I tried. But I agree that it is far from an exhaustive list.

oBFusCATed:
Have you tried them?
All the major terminals (xterm, gnome-term, konsole) require different options in my experience.

And as you know we give you a setting so you can change the terminal to be used, it is not hard coded to xterm.

Folco:
Yes, I have used all the terms I quoted (and only the ones). I was talking about -e and -T options only.
And I modify C::B settings, I just didn't know why they weren't not set initially at the values of my account configuration.

oBFusCATed:
Does it work with -e and -T for all terminals?
If I remember correctly gnome-terminal required -x instead of -e!

Folco:
Both exist, but indeed, -x seems to be more like xterm's -e. But I never had to use -x.

--- Quote ---       -e, --command=STRING
                 Execute the argument to this option inside the terminal.

       -x, --execute
                 Execute the remainder of the command line inside  the  termi‐
                 nal.

A solution would be to map a string to an argument for each supported shell.
Terminal -> Option
xterm -> -e, -T
gnome-terminal -> -x, -T
etc...
