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?
