The real problem that got my attention was this: With no roxterm instances running: ====================================================================== roxterm --replace tab -n "Bash 2 - %s" && roxterm --tab -n "Editing 1 - %s" ====================================================================== This blocks and results in a stable terminal, close and the remaining terminal appears and stays around as expected. ====================================================================== roxterm --fork --replace tab -n "Bash 2 - %s" && roxterm --tab -n "Editing 1 - %s" ====================================================================== The terminal window quickly appears and disappears. I can see the Bash 2 tab is being made, but I can't quite make out if the Editing 1 tab is. Nothing is output on stdout/err. Does that happen for you?
