If an instance of Rox Term is already running, this switch should prevent another instance
from being created and instead cause the existing instance to run the command supplied at
"-e" in a new tab.

Unfortunately the version of roxterm in stable is very old because the
previous maintainer stopped having enough time to update it and didn't
RFA it for ages.

Newer versions have a --tab option which I think is exactly the feature
you're asking for. Try the binary package 1.15.2-1 from testing, and if
that won't work in stable I'm sure the source package would build OK.
