Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

This is not a bug, this is a feature request.

I've been a KDE user long time ago. In this time a used konsole as a terminal emulator. Since Hardy I'm using the Ubuntu default Gnome desktop and in this case I'm using gnome-terminal instead off konsole.

There is a feature which is really missing for me. Konsole is able to monitor activity on the terminal tabs. So if I'm working on one of the tabs (active tab) konsole is able to alarm me when there is some activity on a not used one (inactive tab).

There will be nice to see a similar feature for gnome-terminal. Please implement a similar feature!

Best Regards,
totya

btw there's no need to open an Ubuntu task for bugs that are already filed upstream, the Ubuntu team doesn't have the resources to work on such features.

Hi, I've just finished the implementation of activity and silence monitoring in xfce4-terminal which can be a drop in replacement for gnome-terminal. Please find attached a patch against version 0.4.5. More info on my blog page : http://jahrome.free.fr/index.php/activity-silence-monitor-notification-terminal-xfce-gnome-bell?lang=en
