Notify-send seems to be the most generic of them all, but does depend on dbus. Most applets I've seen (mostly gtk applets though), do use notify send for their notifications.
Can we hack kdbusnotification, knotify, or notify-send to work correctly?
You could also use a basic scriptable widget like xdialog which is like cdialog or just dialog
I want a system tray popup. (Nikolaus) Likewise for xmessage or xosd. :-)
I already can create message windows with kdialog, KDED kwrited, or dcop. But such a script is then not desktop-agnostic. I don't want to waste time with a bunch of if-then tests. :-)
I want a message that does not timeout, which is broken in notify- send when used in non-GTK environments. (Or possibly is broken only in Qt/TQt environments because the -t0 option does not work in KDE either.)
Besides the broken -t0 option in non-GTK environments, the notification popup does not use knotify or kdbusnotification. Seems like notify-send is an obvious option, but not integrated into TDE at all. Either notify-send or knotify/kdbusnotification need patching.
If notify-send supports/requires dbus, then patching kdbusnotifcation would be the most straightforward option?
Ideas?
