[Remind-Fans] A little script I use to put remind on the desktop

[Shelagh Manton]

As the subject says. This was devised for xfce4 but I'm sure that the
guts of the script would be useful for any desktop. At least on *nix
OSes.

It does have three dependencies ssed imagemagick and enscript.
Most are available with distro package managers but may not be
installed by default. ssed (super sed) might be the only one that is
difficult to get.
