I rigged zenity to display a dialog when these come up, and my screen got full of alert boxes when I surfed to this URL: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/spamassassin-announce/?format=atom

Here's the result:
** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1)
** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2)

The SpamAssassin Atom feed currently has 23 items on it, so it's not so simple as one line per item in Live Bookmarks, but it definitely seems to be related to RSS / Live Bookmarks.

In case somebody wants it, here's the loop I rigged:

tail -n 0 --follow=name ~/.xsession-errors |
while read line; do
  case $line in ""|*"Failed to get METAR data.");;
  *) date "+%c $line"; zenity --info --text="`date "+%c $line"`" & ;;
  esac;
done &

I get loads of weird errors from zenity but for quick notifications, this seems to work.
