Are you sure it wasn't still running the old roxterm? If there were any old terminals still open running roxterm again would have reused the same instance instead of running a new one.
I can't reproduce this in Debian with GNOME 3. Can you do something to confirm the command line being sent to roxterm? Eg: sudo mv /usr/bin/roxterm /usr/bin/roxterm.bak and create a new /usr/bin/roxterm something like: #!/bin/sh echo "$@" > ~/roxterm-log exec /usr/bin/roxterm.bak "$@" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1298160 Title: Midnight Commander fails to open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/roxterm/+bug/1298160/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
