Okay, so this Thursday (August 12th) is FeatureFreeze for Maverick.

If any of this is going to make Maverick, we need to upload something
ASAP.

While I would love to see this all automatic and automagic, I just
don't think it's going to get any better than this right now for
Maverick (given my other work items):

  alias alert='notify-send -i "$([ $? = 0 ] && echo gnome-terminal ||
echo error)" "$(history|tail -n1|sed -e
'\''s/^\s*[0-9]\+\s*//;s/;\s*alert$//'\'')"'

I'm happy adding this to Ubuntu's default bash .profile installed.
Users who want to use this feature, will 'sudo apt-get install
libnotify-bin' and then append the "; alert" onto the end of commands
that they want to be alerted about.

Ideally, this "feature" will be useful enough to people that we can
get a full spec about the "best" way to implement this in Maverick+1
in a by-default, automatic, automagic manner.

What do you think?
