Using zenity to popup a dialog box

While xmessage can be used to popup a dialog box, for example to give the results of a script, etc., it is rather lacking in options and rather crude looking. If you have Gnome installed, you can use zenity to create nice looking dialog boxes. It also allows for user input into the dialog box, something xmessage does not.

See the zenity man page for details.
