"Nudge: Nudge allows you to send a "shake" to your contact. Both your
own and your contacts MSN Messenger window will shake, much like how
Internet Explorer windows shake using the correct javascript."

I don't think my window manager has support for applications shaking
their windows.  I don't think I would be running it for very long if it
did.  It sounds a little like the yahoo buzz feature which is equally as
braindead.

Gaim does however allow me to run arbitary programs such as osdcat
everytime somebody starts a new conversation with me.
