That sounds likely, I've never used 0install, I like to know what's been installed and where, that's why the Rox-filer page in the book puts almost everything into /usr/share/rox > Finally, must say that I was suspicious about roxterm, and would stick to > terminator, and start a discussion asking for it in the book. > > However, both do essentially the same, with main difference being how to > customize, so *I can live with roxterm*.

I like to be able to drag a file into a terminal window but I don't need anything more advanced than that. I've just stopped using roxterm as it has a bug with gtk+-3.4: I can't scroll back with the scroll wheel. I can scroll fine in other gtk+-3 app but not roxterm :/ So I've gone back to using Xfce's terminal which uses gtk+-2 and the gtk+-2 version of vte, vte-0.28.2. Xfce's terminal has a few more dependencies than Roxterm as it uses some Xfce things but it works fine.
