(hope you don't mind the self-advertisement)

On Unix, rfd currently relies on zenity being installed in order to create message boxes. This isn't great, since it's a runtime dependency that can't be compiled into the program, and it might not always be installed.

Alerta is my attempt at displaying simple message boxes on X11 without any C dependencies. It may be worth switching to it to avoid the problems caused by zenity.

This would cause a few regressions, so it might not be acceptable:

Apart from the accessibility issue, these should be resolvable with relative ease if desired.
