Separate patches are easier for me - thanks.

Sounds interestig - how does it work?

There's certainly scope to improve the shell command buffer... things like:

- Make it a true interactive tty (with gnome-pty-helper?)
- Show output from commands in the minibuffer

- Command completion, etc...

I'll take a look sometime (finding when people are around will be
interesting - we've got quite a spread of timezones here ;-)
