Hers is a page that describes using Ubuntu's Notification system: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDevelopmentGuidelines

I'll have a play with this myself this weekend and see if I can come up with something.

A more generic approach, along the same lines, could be to use the
notification system provided by dbus and supported by most window
managers using the libnotify system (and the notify-send command).
The only problem with that approach is that libnotify only supports a
very little bit of formatting (bold, italic, underline but no colour).

You are correct. The new Ubuntu Notify OSD, which uses libnotify, doesn't support things like text colour.

I am hacking together something which creates a gtk Tray Icon and uses a standard gtk window for the notification. it's basically working, but I need to make the gtk window look more like a Notify window and get a grip on the rather complex way gtkTextBuffer marks up text.

Ian.
