Hers is a page that describes using Ubuntu's Notification system:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDevelopmentGuidelines
I'll have a play with this myself this weekend and see if I can come up
with something.
A more generic approach, along the same lines, could be to use the
notification system provided by dbus and supported by most window
managers using the libnotify system (and the notify-send command).
The only problem with that approach is that libnotify only supports a
very little bit of formatting (bold, italic, underline but no colour).
You are correct. The new Ubuntu Notify OSD, which uses libnotify,
doesn't support things like text colour.
I am hacking together something which creates a gtk Tray Icon and uses a
standard gtk window for the notification. it's basically working, but I
need to make the gtk window look more like a Notify window and get a
grip on the rather complex way gtkTextBuffer marks up text.
Ian.
