[Cialug] graphical `write`?

[Nathan C. Smith]

What about something like Growl?  Is there anything like that for Linux?  (I know of Growl, but no useful details)

Let me rephrase my question.

The other user, who would be using a GUI interface, GNOME to be specific. Does not need to reply to the message. They just need to see it. Like a popup message.

Thanks

Pidgin also has zeroconf.  So, if all the users are on the same multicast network, you can do it all without the need for setting up a server.

Pidgin is by far my favorite client for all protocols, and it has the
benefit of having a CLI version.
