Btw, rather than directly opening a terminal window, you may want to |
2 |
use the notify-send api / command line to do your popup. That way it |
3 |
gets rendered natively by your desktop of choice, and you don't have |
4 |
to fuss about searching which DISPLAY variable X is running on. |

|

You can do something like |
7 |
notify-send --app-name=foo |
8 |
--icon=icon-name-in-usr-share-icons-without-the-path-and-extension |
9 |
--urgency=normal|critical --expire-time=milliseconds "TITLE" |
10 |
"LONGTEXT" |
