Comment 16 for bug 315932

Dustin, are you referring also to just adding the "prompt_command" function and "xactive.c" program in the initial bug report, or only to the long proposal I just posted? (which clearly is for Maverick+1 at least, and may not even be worth bothering to implement)

It does change the default shell behavior, possibly introducing issues (although it works for me :) ) but I suppose the post-feature-freeze period is intended for eliminating such potential regressions?

A possible way to do it is to package xactive separately, make ubuntu-desktop depend on it, make bash recommend it, and and add the prompt_command script to the bash profiles in the bash package. I'm not very familiar with Ubuntu packaging policy though, so other options may be better.
