An platform independent approach might be to use the python and pynotify to submit the notifications. This code fragment will show a popup on any desktop, as far as I know: #!/usr/bin/python import pygtk import gtk import gobject import pynotify if not pynotify.init("test"): sys.exit(1) n = pynotify.Notification("Test message","I am hooked.") n.show() I'm not sure if it is possible to get the nice button Sune inserted nor to automatically remove the "device present" message when the device is removed, but it would allow us to add a popup without pulling in the KDE libraries as dependencies.
