You might also look at xdialog, which has a script called Xmessage.
xdialog is a set of routines for creating GTK dialogs -- primarily used
to do prompts, etc., that you might otherwise see in a console. I use
the Xmessage script that comes with it as then I have a GTK-themed
xmessage-like utility; it's also incredibly configurable in terms of
geometry, size of textarea, etc. Pretty much just eye-candy, but I find
it useful for these sorts of tasks.
