I don't think rox-sessions output is so useful for this purpose. The
green text hides large areas of the screen and the log window doesn't
auto-scroll to the end. It's OK when something gives an error message
and you want to read it.

But I was thinking more like a very very simple terminal. I'll see if I
can hack together a patch and you could try it and say if you like it.
