(Get the code!)
FWIW, I started writing a patch for gnome-screensaver which adds messages as a note in Tomboy (if it exists), and then displays it on the screen. The problem I see with the existing implementation is that you have to act on the notification straight away really, as there is no way of putting it to one side to come back to later.
With the Tomboy method, you can close the note if you don't want to act on it straight away, and come back to it later (even in another session) as the note is saved.
I don't know if that's an acceptable solution or not though (and if it is, it's probably too late for Jaunty).
Comments welcome :)
