I don't know how to start dcop calls but I guess that it is something to 
create an instance of KMessageBox::critical() directly, right?

This would be a solution. But anyhow in my opinion such a program is very 
useful for many administrators to communicate with the users.

e.g. "System is going down for HALT now!"

Would be nice if there could be such a program in KDE 3.1. I would offer 
myself to code this small application and I think it should have the same 
command-line-options like xmessage because then it is compatible with all 
the existing shell-scripts which use xmessage.

What do you think?

Bye
Pietz
