hey guys!

Yet another im-heavily-customizing-hacking-my-environment style question:

I'm working on automation scripts to make my life easier (read: hacker, lulz) and one of the things I'd like to do is have a script running in a terminal in the corner of my screen get my attention when its done.

This means:

Flashing the terminal (a 'visual bell')

Flashing the bar on my panel (for example, when you have the firefox download mini-window open, but minimized, and a download finished, this starts flashing)

What i'm avoiding:

Audio bell. its just annoying. i <3 my music :-)

Thoughts?Ponders?Quandries?Good Jokes?Bad Jokes?

thanks,

~Alex
