While waiting for the new version to be released for Ubuntu you should be able to work around this. I'm not using Ubuntu ATM to check, but if it corresponds to Debian, you should be able to make it the GNOME preferred terminal by selecting roxterm as your x-terminal-emulator with update-alternatives and then choosing Ubuntu/Debian Terminal Emulator in the preferred applications capplet.
