Aron, let me know if I should open a new bug report instead. I haven't tested this yet but I could. I just had someone ask me why Ubuntu GNOME doesn't support this if GNOME has for 2 years.
Since all that is apparently needed is an /etc file, I guess this could be enabled selectively by gnome-shell if it doesn't work on Unity but I'm curious if there was a reason this isn't enabled in Debian or Ubuntu.
