XP (and I think 2k as well) use the 'messenger' service for this rather than the winpopup from 9x. It's on by default in XP and 2k I believe. There's a piece of software called LinPopUp available at http://www.littleigloo.org/downloads_002.php3, both in source tarball and rpm, though it's not specifically for Fedora (needs gtk+ >= v1.2.0). It is released under GPL. If someone can point out a newer piece of software (or fedora specific) that does the same thing, then by all means, do tell :) I have no experience at all with this one and have no idea if it's being actively worked on either. My experience has been that _most_ RH based rpm's will work just fine under Fedora, but like I said, I've never tried this one. Feel free to experiment if you like though.
