DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the roxterm command.

       roxterm is a terminal emulator.

OPTIONS
       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
       options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is
       included below.

       -? --help
	   Show description of options.

       --help-all
	   Show all options.

       --help-gtk
	   Show all GTK+ options.

       --usage
	   Show summary of usage.

       -d DIRECTORY --directory=DIRECTORY
	   Run shell/command in DIRECTORY.

       --geometry=GEOMETRY
	   Set size and/or position of terminal according to X geometry
	   specification.

       --appdir=DIR
	   Application directory when run as a ROX app.

       --show-menubar --hide-menubar
	   Whether to show or hide the menubar, overriding the profile. The
	   default is to show it.

       --fullscreen -f
	   Make initial terminal window take up the whole screen with no
	   window furniture.

       --disable-sm
	   Disable session management.

       --tab
	   If possible open the new terminal in an existing window rather than
	   open a new window. If used in conjunction with -T/--title the tab
	   will be placed in an existing window with the same title template
	   if one exists. This option overrides --zoom and --fullscreen.

       --zoom=ZOOM -z ZOOM
	   Scale terminal's font by a factor of ZOOM (1.0 is normal size).

       -p PROFILE --profile=PROFILE
	   Use the named profile.

       -c SCHEME --colour-scheme=SCHEME --color-scheme=SCHEME
	   Use the named colour scheme.

       -s SCHEME --shortcut-scheme=SCHEME
	   Use the named keyboard shortcut scheme.

       --title=TITLE -T TITLE
	   Set window title template. May include "%s" which is substituted
	   with the full contents of the tab's label.

       --tab-name=NAME -n NAME
	   Set tab name as displayed in its label. May include "%s" which is
	   substituted with the window title string set by the terminal.

       --separate
	   Use a separate process for this terminal.

       --fork
	   Always fork into the background. Usually the first instance stays
	   in the foreground and subsequent invocations return once they have
	   asked the master instance to handle their command. This option
	   causes the master instance to fork itself into the background; the
	   foreground process returns once the master is ready to handle
	   further commands.

       --replace
	   Replace any existing instance as ROXTerm D-BUS service provider.

       --role=ROLE
	   Sets the X window system "role" hint for the window being created.

       -e --execute
	   Execute remainder of the command line inside the terminal. Must be
	   the final option. If there is only one following argument it is
	   parsed in case it is a command with space-separated arguments that
	   was passed to roxterm in quotes. If there is more than one argument
	   they are treated as a command and arguments without parsing.
