My patch also works with:
 * Gnome + Alt-F2
 * XFCE + Alt-F2
 * KDE

This provides the desired behavior covers the main Ubuntu desktop
managers, and the Bourne-compatible shells (dash, bash, ash, ksh) and
would benefit the majority of [K/X/U]buntu users.

It does *not* break functionality on non-Bourne shells.  Users of these shells 
will need to update their ~/.pam_environment or other .*rc scripts to add a 
fully qualified /home/user/bin to the PATH environment variable.  Or, actually 
just:
    eval PATH="$PATH"
as the problem seems to be that non-Bourne shells do not evaluate the ~ or the 
$HOME variables in the PATH declaration.

Proposing for sponsorship for Intrepid.
