+ROXTerm is a terminal emulator intended to provide similar features
+to gnome-terminal, based on the same VTE library, but with a smaller
+footprint and quicker start-up time. It achieves this by not using
+the Gnome libraries and by using a separate applet to provide the
+configuration GUI. It can be used as a ROX application, as the name
+implies, or in any other X environment.
+
+ROXTerm uses the "session" bus, which should be started along with your
+desktop environment. Current versions of ROX, GNOME and KDE session
+managers all launch D-BUS. If you use some other session/desktop/window
+manager which doesn't launch D-BUS you can start it by inserting something
+like this near the start of your .xinitrc or .xsession:
+
+ if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
+ eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
+ export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
