I absolutely agree that Roxterm is much better, Ralf, I use it myself,
but as GTK+ 3.20 breaks it so badly that the maintainers have decided
to not continue on the project, I didn't think it was worth mentioning
at this point in time.

There is also a Debian bug on this issue; IIRC they decided to drop the
package, so it most likely will not be available in Yakkety when it is
released.
