So far it's been perfect on my two main workstations (Karmic 64-bit
Jaunty LPIA)! I'd vote to include in Lucid if possible.

wishlist: add indication of background tab buffer change

Of course I spoke too soon... The Karmic install is still working fine
and as expected.
The Jaunty (i386 on LPIA) version has an odd bug (that I don't see in
Karmic).
To reproduce:
1) Open 3 or more tabs
2) Switch to tab 2 do 'sleep 5; echo test'
3) Switch to some other tab
Results: when tab
Did you enable the new option? It's in the Window/Tabs part of the
profile, Show terminal status in close buttons. The background only
flashes for beeps, I think it would be too distracting having all that
going on just because there's some text output. Instead, the close
button icon will change.
Duh! Yes, it works perfectly if you actually turn it on... :-) Never
even occurred to me...
That build process also worked better. I'd seen the Debian module, but
initially didn't want to confuse the issue, then forgot about it when I
went ahead and confused the issue with checkinstall
I had an idea and decided rather than adding more to the tab area I
could use different icons in the close button to show the terminal's
status. It now uses a warning sign if there's a beep, an info sign if
the text content changes, and an error sign if the command exits. They
all change back to
Thank you for the quick response on this, it's really great to see!
It sort-of works, in that the tab background will now flash if the
background tab beeps, but not if it just changes. I am testing by
opening two tabs, and typing 'sleep 5 ; echo test' in the first then
switching to the second.
Doing a regular 'sudo make install' did not change anything above.
$ sudo make uninstall gave me:
[...]
/bin/bash: line 4: cd: /usr/local/share/roxterm: No such file or directory

Can you get ssh etc to beep at the crucial moment? If a beep/bell goes
off in an inactive tab there's an option to make the label flash (and in
the next release, to set an inactive window's urgency hint).
Otherwise I think this is a good idea. To make sure I'm thinking of the
right thing: you
Can you get ssh etc to beep at the crucial moment?
Probably, but I think that would be manual. I'd have to remember to add
'|| beep' or '; beep' on the end of the commands, like 'ssh u...@host ||
beep' or 'rsycn stuff u...@host:elsewhere ; beep'. Not a bad work-
around though.
