"Description of problem:
Specifiing command (in terminal launcher):
 "exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator --tab --tab --tab"

result in error:

exo-helper: Unknown option --tab --tab --tab.
Type 'exo-helper --help' for usage.

although right action should be start preferred terminal app with "--tab --tab --tab" as its parameters."

This should now be resolved in the above commit.

This bug was fixed upstream in version 0.11.5, and therefore does not affect Ubuntu 18.04 (0.12.0).
