Ack this.  I've built ROXTerm locally using the upstream build and it fixes this bug nicely.  Otherwise, ROXTerm is basically unusable without manually setting the TERM environment variable after launching each window.

Comment 2 Jonathan Abbey 2011-07-13 19:47:29 UTC
I'd be happy to submit an updated src.rpm file, but I don't know what the Fedora policy is on the unwashed masses getting involved like that. ;-)

Comment 3 Jan ONDREJ 2011-07-16 16:16:13 UTC
Because there is no response from package owner (Dan), building new version for rawhide and fedora 15. I think there is no need to build for Fedora 14.
