Description: shows it’s input parameter(s) on the screen. requires PyQt4 and PyKDE4 put it in ~/bin/ and make it executable
example usage (autostart): [indent]kalert "`fortune`"[/indent] or start krunner (Alt+F2) and type [indent]kalert Remember the Milk![/indent] which leaves you a note in a window till you close it
Note: [indent]The window decoration is a fork of the standard one (oxygen) and is called nitrogen[/indent]Last changelog:
1.0 everything works as intended. future releases will support piping (if python supports it)
yes, kdialog --msgbox "`fortune`" shows me a fortune, too, but there is no way to get rid of the big i-logo and it is quite buggy, too: sometimes the last line is removed or only its first half is shown.
but you are right. if i knew about kdialog, i probably wouldn’t have coded this.

Did you have some fun with it? I can imagine. Otherwise I concur with pinotree. You're duplicating functionality of kdialog...
Looks like more or less one of the various functions which `kdialog` (shipped with standard kdebase-runtime) provides.
