    Hi, I'm here again, but dont'be scared, this time for a simpler request :-D

    Could you implement an hold function? This switch should make terminal not
    close when a child process exits. It should be used i.e. in conjunction with
    -e switch.

    O.T.

    I've seen that your program honour gtk options

    roxterm --help-gtk

    Usage:

    roxterm

    GTK+ Options

    --class=CLASS Program class as used by the window manager

    --name=NAME Program name as used by the window manager

    what's the matter with those instead of --xclass and --xname?

    Thanks in advance

    There's already an option to hold the terminal open in the Profiles' Command
    section. I hope that will suffice (in conjunction with --profile perhaps).
    Adding a command line option for it would be a bad idea I think, too much
    complication when the CLI disagrees with the profile.

    You're right about --xclass and --xname; now that they don't do anything
    different from --class and --name I should just drop them. I think I should
    also remove roxterm's own support for --display, so it too will only work if
    roxterm isn't already running or if --separate is used.

    Sorry, I totaly missed that option. It works perfectly, and you're right, no
    need to implement cli swith for it.

    I think --class and --name should be guidelines compliant, setting the props
    during window creation and not after mapping. So they should beahave bettere
    than yours xclass and xname.

    Thanks a lot again for your help. :-)
