I just did a quick test with KDE 4.1 and kwrited is working and popping up a message box that has messages sent with wall. So it is working at least for more recent versions of KDE. I would think that the daemon could be modified without too much difficulty to pop up a generic X (IE. non-KDE or Qt specific) message box if that is not already the case. To configure this go to System Settings --> Advanced --> Service Manager and make sure that KDE Write Daemon is checked in the Startup Services area. Hal
