or

If security and persistence is a thought, try, as root (go figure)

ssh address "wall msg"

If all works, the user will have no choice, the message will be printed, to the screen as well as every open term he/she has.
There is no dependence on the mesg y prerequisite.

So, to make the idear float a little better, using ssh-add/agent and a hostlist

#!/bin/sh
for host in $(cat hostlist); do
        ssh $host "wall $1"
done

then do,

># ./pager.sh "hello...."

works here.

Viola, annoying msg to all in the list, booohahahahaha :) Granted, ya gotta be root on all... :(
This could be a kde thing only too (as far as the message box to display, dunno).

being a pain,
