First, I installed the version from comment 9 on the i686 machine on
which I build the package that I was using on the LPIA machine, and had
the same problem, so it wasn't *just* the LPIA machine.  It's odd that
it was not reproducible on AMD64, but it's also now moot since the
update fixed it.

I updated both ROXTERM and debian to r703 via 'svn up', then:
$ ./bootstrap.sh
$ sudo aptitude build-dep roxterm  ## no change, no op, as expected
$ debuild -uc -us
$ sudo dpkg -i ../roxterm_1.18.0+svn13-1_*.deb

This version fixes the bug in #9, and so far works as expected on i686 &
LPIA (Jaunty) and AMD64 (Karmic).

There is one item to note, and I feel like I mentioned this before but
now can't find it.  Anyway, if I run a command [1] that causes ROXTerm
to open and switch to a new tab, the "changed" indicator comes up on the
tab I just left, presumably because I leave it before it registers the
command prompt being displayed again.  This is not a problem for me,
just an FYI.  I was thinking that a small delay before looking for the
change indicator would fix that, but it also might open up some race
conditions and may not be worth it.  It is probably worth a note in the
docs some-place though.

[1] alias rxssh='roxterm --tab --execute ssh'
Use case: 'rxssh u...@host' opens a new tab directly into an SSH session.
