I think this issue is both up to the galago and bsdutils maintainers.
First, a dbus interface should be defined for sending such messages.
Then, wall could call dbus-send when available, and notification-daemon
would have to listen to this interface.

If the bsdutils maintainer disagrees, the solution will imply
notification-daemon (or an intermediate process) using a pseudo-tty only
for this matter, and it sounds quite hackish.

Cheers,
