Note that zenity also has the capability of adding an icon to the
notification area/system tray.

zenity --notification --text="I'm doing updates, don't freak out"
--window-icon="/path/to/your/warnint/icon.png"

When the user hovers over the icon the text will be displayed;
clicking the icon kills it. Of course you need to be using a desktop
that supports the system tray.
