We've drifted a fair ways off topic here, but let me close this OT
topic from my standpoint with a few comments:

1. Users at our facility only have permission to login to their own
PC(s) and a few selected servers (access is strictly limited).
2. Users are instructed to (software) lock their PCs whenever they
leave their work area.
3. Users are welcome to remain logged in until the end of time if they
choose. Frequently they leave long running software builds in progress
on their machines overnight. Frequently they have many dozens of
windows open that would be a time consuming and potentially
error-prone session restoration process if they were required to
logout.
4. Access to the internet is controlled by repressive corporate
policies such that even admins can't usually do anything useful on the
internet. We usually have to download and burn software CDs at home.
In one respect they are justified in this repressive policy. All email
and much of the corporate applications farm is WinCrap based and quite
fragile, and they were caught by one of the major viruses a few years
back. Since the age of repression started, nothing has gotten through.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Does anyone know a way to schedule a popup to run on a KDE desktop by
external means and/or have a KDE application automatically start and
listen for external signals/data to accomplish the same purpose?
