Desktop environment agnostic notification popups

All,

Are there any notification popup tools to use with Trinity? Especially to run in scripts.

kdialog is TDE-specific, as is dcop.

There is rwall and KDED kwrited, but that is not a small system tray popup.

libnotify provides notify-send, but notify-send is GNOME-centric. For example, the infinite timeout option, -t0, does not work with either TDE or KDE4 (works fine in Xfce).

There is dbus, but that requires installing an optional Trinity package, kdbusnotification.

Ideas? Recommendations?
