Very nice idea, I tryied this on Ubuntu 8.04 but it's not working for me, the example provided in the gnome-osd-client man doesn't work either:
gnome-osd-client -f "<message id='myplugin' osd_fake_translucent_bg='on' osd_vposition='center' animations='off' hide_timeout='1000' osd_halignment='right'>Volume: 96%</message>" ServerError: <type 'exceptions.KeyError'>: u'osd_vposition' Evaluating (osd-display "i2" "and OSD..." 500) => 2 Cezar _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
