prompts in shells often have useful colors.  this code in 24.4
comint.el obscures those faces.

this was not the case in some older emacs versions.

(add-text-properties prompt-start (point)
				   '(rear-nonsticky t
				     font-lock-face comint-highlight-prompt))

perhaps it can be conditionalized.

thanks.
