[Bug 509544] Re: wishlist: add indication of background tab buffer change

[JP Vossen]

Thank you for the quick response on this, it's really great to see!

It sort-of works, in that the tab background will now flash if the
background tab beeps, but not if it just changes.  I am testing by
opening two tabs, and typing 'sleep 5 ; echo test' in the first then
switching to the second.

Expected: when on the second tab and the sleep expires, the first tab should "indicate something"
Observed: not so much, unless the first tab has 'sleep 5 ; beep'

Also tried 'sleep 5 ; ls' but no effect, beep works, echo and ls don't.
And, the indicator is not as described above.

Help > About gives 1.18.0+svn1.  I had a little trouble installing it.
I'm using checkinstall to build a trivial .deb and installing that.  A
simple dpkg -i didn't seem to really install, as Help > About was still
the stock Karmic 1.15.x and I was getting a bdus error (which I didn't
write down).  Once I did an 'aptitude purge roxterm' then a 'dpkg -i
roxterm_1.18.0-svn1-1_amd64.deb' Help > About is OK and the dbus error
is gone, but I am not seeing differences in the close icon, nor am I
seeing an indicator on text content change as noted.

Did I somehow check out the wrong thing?  Here's what I did:

$ sudo aptitude install autoconf2.13 libtool gettext libglib2.0-dev 
libgtk2.0-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libvte-dev libglade2-dev
### Other things might be needed, that was all I needed, but I've already got quite a bit installed on my Karmic
$ svn co 
https://roxterm.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/roxterm/trunk/roxterm ROXTerm
$ cd ROXTerm/
$ ./bootstrap.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo checkinstall make install
$ sudo aptitude purge roxterm
$ sudo dpkg -i roxterm_1.18.0-svn1-1_amd64.deb
