XP (and I think 2k as well) use the 'messenger' service for this rather
than the winpopup from 9x. It's on by default in XP and 2k I believe.
There's a piece of software called LinPopUp available at
http://www.littleigloo.org/downloads_002.php3, both in source tarball
and rpm, though it's not specifically for Fedora (needs gtk+ >=
v1.2.0). It is released under GPL. If someone can point out a newer
piece of software (or fedora specific) that does the same thing, then by
all means, do tell :)
I have no experience at all with this one and have no idea if it's being
actively worked on either. My experience has been that _most_ RH based
rpm's will work just fine under Fedora, but like I said, I've never
tried this one. Feel free to experiment if you like though.

Thanks guys, The problem with this is the recipient must be running
win-popup.
Now on Win2k and Win-XPlease boxes (using netsend) you can send the
recipient a message that appears in the form of dialogue box that just
appears, no win-popup required, I would like to abuse the feature from
my Linux box.
mmmm I wonder if netsend will run in wine! I'll get back to later
Cheers
