Cool. I didn’t realise that zenity was just the first step in a Grand New Notification Plan
I don’t write C either, mind, so as soon as someone said “here’s the gnome API call for tigert’s new notification popups” I’d have said “are there Python bindings?”
This will be greatness. Although I’m not sure whether it’s better to beef up gtkhtml so that it can handle the HTML, or just bite the bullet and make Gnome depend on Gecko…

ouch…
the die-text should read:
“usage: foo.pl command /path/to/iconfile.png”

sorry

hi,
did you consider using gtk2-perl ? it is easy to write something with panel notification see these 20 lines:
#!/usr/bin/perl


use Gtk2::TrayIcon;

use strict;
die "usage: foo.pl  \n” if (!$ARGV[1]);
Gtk2->init;
my $pic = Gtk2::Image->new_from_file($ARGV[1]);

my $icon= Gtk2::TrayIcon->new(’trayicon’);

my $button = Gtk2::ToolButton->new($pic,’NULL’);
$icon->add($button);

$button->signal_connect (clicked => sub {system($ARGV[0]);Gtk2->main_quit; 1});
$icon->show_all;

Gtk2->main;
