LinPopUp-2 is a GTK+2 port of well known LinPopUp program.

Actually, it is a frontend for 'smbclient -M', so it allows you to send and receive messages to and from Winpopup users. There are more features on original LinPopUp page at LittleIgloo.Org.

Since Jean-Marc Jacquet stopped developing in early 2000, life was changing. GTK+ v2.x became more popular than v1.2.x, several patches appears on the Net. I was asking to do something to make LinPopUp work better on modern system. So I made this GTK+2 port for myself and glad to share it with people now.

Here are some key features of "LinPoPup 2":
Doesn't need to always run :
If you close it, it will continue to receive all messages that are send to you. You can even quit Xwindow, and still receive messages. In fact, the only way to miss a message that was sent to you is to have your computer turned off.

Messages are kept from session to session. You will always retrieve a message that was sent to you, ... if you have not deleted it.

Can be run minimized :
It will raise automatically each time a new message arrives.

And other features like :
Possibility to reply to a message, clipboard cut & past, etc.
