Hi all

I've been using a simple notmuch count-based script together with xmobar in=
 xmonad to notify me of new mail. However, I'm thinking of switching to a G=
nome/xmonad-based combo, thus giving up xmobar. I've been looking for a rep=
lacement to my mail checker that would work with gnome-panel, but so far I =
haven't found any. I'm sure there has to be at least one Gnome user on the =
notmuch mailing list, so I thought I'd ask for help.

How are you solving this? Basically anything that would display a notificat=
ion icon if a given shell command returned true would suffice, though I'd p=
refer something that would also display a given text (read: a short fom of =
the specified query and the mail count for it, something like: =C2=BBperson=
al: 10=C2=AB =E2=80=93 possibly during mouse over).

Thanks in advance,
  Albin
