	Both of these iterations work for both -exec and -ok when under X
when running gnome-multi-terminal.  

	To address other posts in this thread - I also tested my original
syntax against xterm, uxterm, and gnome-terminal (that's all I have
installed) and in all cases I did NOT have to escape the wildcard or enclose
it in quotes to get the find action to work.  I have reported this behavior
to the package maintainer

Thanx all -
Don
