I run Conky on my desktop. It gives you a place to put nearly any type
of information you want. Mainly used as a very light weight system
resource monitor.
There is a good thread here:
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/59/my-conky-config/ that has
lots of examples.
Although I have not tried it myself:
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=86658 suggests how to
do a MOTD or any other random type information.

Hi,
Anyone have any thoughts on how I might implement a GUI
message-of-the-day.
This is for a SOHO situation where information needs to be presented
to the user after logging on every-time?
My Google-fu is at an all time low, either that or I'm falling asleep
at this keyboard.
TIA
