There should be a one-line field at the bottom for "From:" to encourage the person to type in a name. If they do, the pop-up will indicate who left the note, as well.

Here are some mock-ups.

This could be easily accomplished and greatly increases the general look and feel of the desktop.

Instead of displaying the message content as a pop-up, notify-osd could output a notification saying "You received %n messages while you were gone", and create a new message notification in the indicator-applet in the notification area.

Upon clicking the indicator applet (or some such function), a helper application would open and display the left messages in a professional manner.

As stated in notify-osd docs, the notification itself would be short and to the point, and disappear after a second or two, since by design, it is to be unobtrusive.

The existing notification for a new email works for this purpose as well. You can view it here:

Add button "Save message". May be saved as Tomboy note.

Add an optional feature: when leaving a message, automatically take with webcam picture of the person, who leaves the message. Leaving a message shold not be an anonymus thing. These feature should be optional, so somewhere could it turn ON/OFF.

When a user clicks "Leave Message", show a combo-box so user can select how to leave that message

When the computer is locked, it should be more obvious the possibility to leave a message. Maybe an already opened text-box with a title for that purpose.
