Is bash in freemantle, or must we suffer busybox again?

The performance benefits of using busybox over GNUtils and bash are non-trivial. Although power users may be making some sacrifices with busybox, the vast majority of users will appreciate significantly improved startup times.

I hate to disappoint you, but there is much easier way to have a decent on-screen keyboard in XTerm. Simply overlay it over entire screen: as XTerm itself rarely requires mouse input, you can just as well use the whole screen as a virtual keyboard.
PS: In fact, this modification has already been applied to the current Diablo XTerm, quite successfully.

(Well, there's no guarantee that he'll add it, but I wish I was a programmer so I could try anyway.)
Any programmers out there able to provide this patch? Or is there a version already out there that can have the relevant code diff'ed out and posted as a patch?
