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 + fi |
