fortuner2 shows a fortune as a notification. Requires the fortune
program (usually in package fortune-mod), notify-send from
libnotify or libnotify-bin and gettext.sh & gettext commands
from GNU gettext.
It has about the same functionality as fortuner, but the implementation
is lighter. fortuner is a C++ application and fortuner2 is a shell
script.
