Hi, same problem here on feisty.

I ran your simple test Ralph:

nicolas@whitestar ~ % echo touch /tmp/created_by_at | at now
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
job 8 at Tue Oct 16 23:32:00 2007
nicolas@whitestar ~% ls -al /tmp/created_by_at
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nicolas users 0 2007-10-16 23:32 /tmp/created_by_at

And some others:

echo mpg123 /home/nicolas/Musique/arthurH_feist.mp3 | at now
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
job 11 at Tue Oct 16 23:41:00 2007
music plays...

echo vlc|at now
nothing...

echo zenity|at now
nothing...

Could there be something wrong with display?
