This proposes to add support for a --role option to mlterm to define the WM_WINDOW_ROLE property which is defined in the ICCCM standard in section 5.1. Other terminals like roxterm, gnome-terminal, mate-terminal, and xfce4-terminal support this option too. The --role is used to uniquely identify a window among several windows of that same application. It can be used in session management or to select role specific resources.
