Since I've noticed the gtk2 package is marked deprecated (itself a bad thing - how can I reduce the height of the retardedly large GTK3 tab bar?), I've attempted to switch over to the main package - however none of my scripts to start up a window with more than one tab ('session') work anymore. Investigating, it appears that the --tab command now blocks: ==================================================================== roxterm --tab -n "Bash 2 - %s" && roxterm --tab -n "Editing 1 - %s"
The first instance should always have blocked anyway, unless you use the --fork option. Use --fork instead of & in the shell, because it's supposed to wait until the first instance is ready to handle further commands. That didn't always work, but I've changed something in 3.1 which hopefully fixes it.
The gtk2 version wouldn't have been possible to keep in Debian because the old vte packages are being removed in the next release. The gtk3 version of vte has made some useful new features possible too.
