Package: roxterm
Version: 1.22.2-1
Severity: minor

The sequence of events is like,

 open a roxterm window as user,
 su to root with exec (exec su -  or exec sudo bash)
 open new tab or window (Ctrl+Shift+N or Ctrl+Shift+T)

it will complain that it can't read /proc/NN/cwd due to
permission denied problem and close new window/tab after
confirmation dialog.

I understand it is trying to get current working directory
of a child process to start new tab/window in the same dir,
and it fails because new child is root-owned and it can't
read its current directory anymore.

In this case it may either notice this fact in a dialog or
just use $HOME silently, instead of failing.

I think previous version had no issue like this.

Severity is minor because it isn't often when you exec an
su or sudo in a terminal.

Thanks,
