popupfortune: python app to display fortunes in root window

While building fortune-mod packages I found this little tool. It should display fortune cookies inside root window. Run popupfortune -h for help. 
Note: I can't test it right now because in xfce4 root window is controlled by xfce4 and though I know the app works I can't see the fortunes (they are "under" the desktop). Plese check if it works ok in your favourite wm/de and post comments below.

pkgname=popupfortune
pkgver=2

build() {

    install -D -m755 $startdir/src/$pkgname/$pkgname.py 
        $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/$pkgname

}
