-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- xsay release one -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- by Marius Aamodt Eriksen http://monkey.org/~marius/xsay DESCRIPTION xsay is a notification tool for X. Simply running "xsay " will display that message in a "bubble" on the top-right corner of the screen. If there is already a message displayed, the entered message will be queued and displayed once the user acknowledges the current message (for example, by clicking on it, or by running "xsay -d"). The xsay distribution includes a GAIM[1] plugin, gaimsay, which uses xsay to notify the user of new messages. The messages are automatically dequeued once the user window in question gains focus. xsay uses very sophisticated technology, such as the X API's polygons & Unix local sockets to notify you of events. INSTALL ./configure make su make install DOCUMENTATION See the manpage xsay(1). LICENSE xsay is distributed under a BSD like license. See the individual source files for details.
