It is strange, from command line:

 gnome-terminal --command='gedit'

works as it should.

 gnome-terminal "--command='gedit'"

works while it should not.

 gnome-terminal --command='gedit  /home/sipan/doc/problems.txt'

works as it should. And 

 gnome-terminal "--command='gedit  /home/sipan/doc/problems.txt'"

does not work and should not.
