My first Gui Dialog Box

Just when back from Penang. the air at the bridge stinks. the food at the island is nice however. Skipping that apart. After a holiday i managed to convert instead of using console mode my apt over https installation is done using zenity. Which i thought pretty cool since ubuntu users tend to prefer the gui over console.
Here is a snapshot of my zenity snapshot.
Now i got this problem . it works with apt-get aptitude but not synaptic. I'm still searching a way so that we can use synaptic + https_proxy. so far i got no luck :( . here`s the snapshot

1.First user will be prompt


2.Next the script will lunch it magics

3. Works with aptitude and apt-get but not yet synaptic

How about you explain how you piped terminal output to Zenity. That would be useful.

Agreed with the first comment... that is Free Software all about, sharing knowledge, so please if you could post how you did it will be nice.

@5n4k3 - you mean

$ echo 'Hi there!' | zenity --text-info

Look at the quotes.
