But one of the first principles of coding is: 'Don't re-invent the wheel.' Secondly, it's really not a question of "fancier"; zenity would do what I asked (see today's previous posts) if it just eliminated a bug and a couple other things we could call 'oversights' (reason for my mentioning developers' URL). As is often the case, better documentation would be helpful as well. Thirdly, the above (again, mentioned in previous posts of today) are so obvious that I'm sure some future version of zenity will have them corrected. We just have to wait. 4) Ten-fifteen years ago I already wrote essentially a (g)xmessage that has worked fine, been rock solid, and looked better. I could add some more functionality to it to get 100% of what I want (what I recently thought would be nice to add to it), but unfortunately I don't have time for that right now. E) It would make more sense to join the devels with zenity. But I don't have time for that either unfortunately. So, yeah, that's a good suggestion. It's just that my calendar is in the way.
