[Gllug] Timer Program

[Stephen Nelson-Smith]

I don't know if any of you are aware of the minuteur program for OSX.
It's a simple countdown timer with a pleasant interface, which starts
from a defined amount of time and counts down.  When it gets to the
end it either rings a bell, or fills the screen with a notification
saying "Time's up!"

I've searched high and low for a Linux equivalent that doesn't suck.
The gnome timer applet doesn't seem to want to make a noise louder
than an almost inaudible "click", and I've tried pointing it at a wav
file of a bell.  The kalarm program is a bit better - but it doesn't
have a nice interface, and it's notification will only appear on the
desktop on which it was launched - not all desktops.

Can anyone point me to something better?
