Thanks for this! Now we can finally test the new stack with our favorite 
shell :)

One thing that needs to be made clear about the new barrier events code 
in xserver/libxi;

this will get in precise for 12.04.3 when we provide the next enablement 
stack..

so there needs to be a Unity release in precise that works with both old 
and new xserver, or two versions? Don't know what would be the best way 
to handle that, just letting you know about this now rather than a week 
before the images are due :)
