I didn't try exactly that, but I did try just running the compiled 
binary.  That gave me a dbus error and the Help > About dialog box 
didn't update, so I'm guessing it didn't really work.

OK, that's pretty darn cool.  Did that.  It...sort-of worked.  I got the 
same issues as above until I did an 'aptitude purge roxterm' then a 
'dpkg -i roxterm_1.18.0-svn1-1_amd64.deb'.  After that Help > About was 
correct and the new feature kind of worked.  See 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/509544 for the details.

Thanks, that was very helpful.  (It was in the repos too, as implied by 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall. Nice. :)

Thanks,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
