Are there any other changes folks would like before I roll this up?Could you consider the changes suggested by [1] so PS1 is always set in a login shell.I meant to write "PS1 is always set in an interactive shell"[1] http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-10/msg00068.html
To summarize the referenced email: PS1 is unset by non-interactive bash shells, so setting PS1 only at login means it is not inherited by interactive shells which have a non-interactive shell in their ancestry.
Attached is a patch for base-files which attempts to fix this by moving the PS1 initialization from /etc/profile to /etc/bash.bashrc and moving the hook which runs /etc/bash.bashrc from ~/.bash_profile to ~/.bashrc.
This affects the prompt displayed in an xterm in the default configuration. You can also demonstrate the change by comparing the behaviour of 'bash -c bash'.
