skype popup message

[Alain Muls]

Hi

I use a philips voip0801 phone as a sound device for skype calls. It is 
very handy, but I can not hear the phone ringing when someone wants to 
call me. I enabled the popup notification in skype for incoming calls, 
but honestly, I do not see the message. So I tried to use the following 
script only for the incoming calls:

xmessage -center -font -adobe-times-bold-r-*-*-25-*-*-*-*-* INCOMING 
SKYPE CALL

When my colleague phoned, he got a message I was having problems with my 
sound card. Calling him form my phone was no problem at all, so the 
sound card should not be th eproblem. Is perhaps the script hanging the 
skype application? Or does someone have a better suggestion for getting 
a real visible message when I have an incoming call.

Tx/Alain
