I'm pretty sure we do honor the UrgencyHint [1]. Not sure what's ^V^G is supposed to do. Do you have any documentation?

Unity appears to ignore the URGENT flag. To test: 1. open any terminal. (I've tried both urxvt and gnome-terminal.) 2. run "sleep 2; echo ^V^G" 3. quickly change desktops away to another desktop 4. note that nothing happens after two seconds Unity should indicate to the user which window has set the URGENT flag. Unity should indicate to the user on which desktop the URGENT flag has been raised. Unity should provide a keyboard shortcut to switch desktop and focus to the window with the URGENT flag. (This may or may not exist already -- I just haven't found it.)
