I just had an incident - or almost had - which reminded me that AFAIK there's no way to receive wall-messages on GNOME (or KDE) unless you happen to have a terminal open. Developers probably always have a terminal or a dozen open at any given time but the casual user might not and thus simply miss a broadcast from root about system going down in 15min (for example) which could be nasty.
There's been a bug open about this for a while: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=114793
I wonder what has happened to the internal RFE that was mentioned
