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

[JP Vossen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: roxterm

SecureCRT and "Multi Gnome Terminal" (seems to be adandonware at
http://multignometerm.sourceforge.net/) have a great feature that tell
you when a background tab's status or buffer has changed.  As MGT puts
it: "Notification that an inactive terminal buffer has changed, or is in
the process of changing, via colors on Tab labels."

This is really handy when using many terminals to connect to remote
hosts via SSH (indicator when beuufer changes on connection lost), or to
run long jobs (e.g. rsync), but still get a clue when they finish.

It would be awesome if something like that could be added to roxterm.
Perhaps the "X" to close the tab could change color, or maybe just color
the tab or font, whatever.

PS--I just ran across roxterm and I like it much better than gnome-
terminal.  Also,zero open bugs is awesome!  (Well, until this one...
Sorry... :)
