If anyone's looking for an easy way to do this, I've made some shell scripts to send popup messages to XBMC. They might be particularly useful if you're using Frodo, because the HTTP API isn't present in Frodo so there's also a script based on the JSON-RPC API, which Frodo can use. They're available at www.timmeredith.com. Ironically, I named them xbmc-send, didn't know there was already one of those... I'll probably get around to changing the name. Anyway, they should work fine on Fedora, along with most other types of Linux, plus MacOSX, and Windows if you have Cygwin.
