Doesn't work if PROMPT_COMMAND is set by something else

This just bit a new user.

Not sure we can fix it, but we should at least document it.

That was me. I just tried adding the undistract-me stuff to the end of the .bashrc file, after all my other PROMPT_COMMAND stuff was defined, and it seems to work now.

can you clarify how you fixed this exactly? I'm also having the issue that i have weird behavior when other PROMPT_COMMAND functions are set... for example, i see this:

anarcat@curie:powerline(master)$ true
anarcat@curie:powerline(master)$ sleep 13
"true" took 14 secs

I have a "__prompt_command" function to do hacks on my prompt, which I added this way:

PROMPT_COMMAND="__prompt_command;${PROMPT_COMMAND}";

I also tried the other way:

PROMPT_COMMAND="${PROMPT_COMMAND};__prompt_command";

no luck...
