Question

http://tinypic.com/r/5dv7kj/7 How can i show the message like in the picture(top right)?

I'm new to linux and now tring to use pygtk to make a client application to show/popup some random hint/mems.

Using traditional winodw is OK,but this one is much more friendly to me.I have tried scanning through the pygtk guide but still missing the solution.Other

Is there any body could give me some hint?Any python GUI libs are also OK.

It's an Ubuntu specific thing called NotifyOSD. There are examples of programming for it here.
