Bug Description
Under other window managers, I've become quite used to terminal bells raising the URGENT flag and then alerting the window manager that I need to pay attention to something. Unity appears to ignore the URGENT flag.
To test:
1. open any terminal. (I've tried both urxvt and gnome-terminal.)
2. run "sleep 2; echo ^V^G"
3. quickly change desktops away to another desktop
4. note that nothing happens after two seconds
Unity should indicate to the user which window has set the URGENT flag. Unity should indicate to the user on which desktop the URGENT flag has been raised. Unity should provide a keyboard shortcut to switch desktop and focus to the window with the URGENT flag. (This may or may not exist already -- I just haven't found it.)
Thanks

Ubuntu 12.10 reached end-of-life so it's no longer supported. Can you
still reproduce this bug on 14.04 (or laters)?
