Last time we looked at how you can get access to an X11 server, the desktop software you are using when you're running graphical environments like Gnome or KDE. When you have access to the X11 server, you can do some remarkable things. As an example, I previously showed you how to open an xterm on the users screen to leave them a message. Rather than use an xterm, it's much easier to use xmessage[1], which will pop up a window and can even have programmable buttons. . . .
