Well, I tried it as:

xterm -e start-rox

and it failed. Then I tried it as:

xterm -e pauseme start-rox

to see if it was throwing out any error messages...and it worked
perfectly...until I closed the XTerm. Then it vanished. So it doesn't
seem to out-live the launching XTerm. Though starting it in an XTerm,
and allowing it to finish starting, then closing the XTerm, doesn't seem
to kill it. Perhaps the problem's with -e? But I can't think of a way
to launch it without it.
