I use conky myself, but it's already a bit cluttered with lots of info,
including the status of my MythTV box:)

A pop up window would be useful to me and other family members, who
aren't emacs users.

I now have a working prototype which uses a Tray Icon to display a pop
up window. I abandoned trying to colour text in a gtk TextBuf myself and
went with pygtkcodebuffer, which is a syntax highlighting derivative of
gtkTextBuf. This has the advantage that you can easily define your own
syntax to produce whatever colouring effect takes your fancy.

I'll rewrite my prototype to get rid of all the cruft and put it on
github later this week.

Ian.
